.81 Antique Art Deco Diamond Cocktail Ring 18k

This Art Deco cocktail ring features a .81 carat old European cut diamond at the center, set in 18 karat white gold with ornate filigree mounting. Four round brilliant cut diamonds totaling .88 carats (with a combined total diamond weight of 1.67 carats) accent the ring in a navette-shaped arrangement.

Old European cuts were hand-cut during the early 20th century and have a different facet pattern than modern diamonds, producing softer light return with more colored flashes.

The filigree metalwork creates openwork patterns, while the orange blossom engraving adds decorative detail characteristic of Art Deco jewelry from the 1920s-1930s. This antique piece appeals to those who appreciate period jewelry with intricate hand-finished details and historical design elements.
