2.03 Elongated Old Mine Cushion Diamond Solitaire Ring 14k

This solitaire engagement ring centers a GIA-certified 2.03 carat elongated old mine cushion cut diamond in 14 karat yellow gold. The old mine cut has a boxy outline with rounded corners and a high crown, so the diamond throws off soft, warm flashes of light rather than the sharper glitter you'd get from a modern cushion cut. Its J color grade means there's a faint warm tint to the stone, which actually blends smoothly with the yellow gold rather than standing out against it. At SI1 clarity, any inclusions sit well below what your eye can pick up, so the diamond looks clean when worn.

Four prongs hold the stone in a basket setting, keeping it raised and open to light from every angle. A milgrain edge runs along the band, adding fine beaded texture without breaking up the ring's clean line. The diamond's details are backed by GIA certificate number 7536999743.
