.70 Antique Victorian Diamond Engagement Ring 14k

This Victorian era solitaire engagement ring features a .70 carat old European cut diamond set in 14 karat rose gold. The diamond has a G color grade, which means it appears white to the naked eye with just a hint of warmth that pairs beautifully with the rose gold.

Old European cuts have larger, chunkier facets than modern round brilliants, giving them more colored fire and a romantic, candlelit sparkle rather than the bright white flash of contemporary diamonds.

The I1 clarity means there are some inclusions visible under magnification, but they won't be obvious when you're wearing the ring. The diamond sits in a six-prong basket setting on a slender rose gold band that won't overpower smaller fingers. Rose gold from this period has a deeper, less coppery tone than modern rose gold, which gives the ring an antique warmth.
