.53 Antique Victorian Cluster Diamond Engagement Ring 14k

This Victorian-era engagement ring features a .53 carat rose cut oval diamond with K color and VS2 clarity, surrounded by six old mine cut diamonds totaling .20 carats. The K color shows noticeable warmth with a faint yellow tint, while the VS2 clarity means very minor inclusions only visible under magnification.

Rose cuts have a flat bottom and domed top with triangular facets that create a softer, more subdued glow rather than the intense sparkle of modern cuts, giving the diamond a distinctly antique appearance. Old mine cuts produce a similar gentle light return with their cushion shape and large facets. The ring is set in 14 karat yellow gold with a floral mounting and engraved shoulders, typical of Victorian design.
