Celeste 2.26 is a By Erstwhile design centering a 2.26 carat antique old mine cut diamond, celebrated for its broad facets, softly squared outline, and candlelit glow. The center stone is accented by two antique companion diamonds, creating a balanced composition that highlights the depth and character of the old mine cut. Handcrafted in yellow gold, the setting features sculptural, Victorian-inspired prongs and an elegant, gently elevated profile that allows light to enter from all angles while remaining comfortable for everyday wear.
By Erstwhile designs focus on proportion, restraint, and longevity—reinterpreting historic details through a modern lens. Handcrafted in the heart of New York City, the Erstwhile Collection showcases rare antique diamonds elegantly set in precious metals.
