This Early Art Deco engagement ring collet-set with a 1.03 carat old European-cut diamond with GIA certificate stating the diamond is I color/SI1 clarity, accented by 8 single-cut diamonds. Set in platinum. Circa 1920

This simple setting is not without detail. The diamond shoulders and openwork gallery make it more surprising than the average solitaire.

Diamond and gold mining has caused devastation in areas such as Africa, wreaking havoc on delicate ecosystems and communities. Choosing to go vintage, you are eliminating the need for more mining and lessening the demand for new diamonds.
