Antique engagement ring centered with a 1.24 carat old mine cushion cut diamond with GIA certificate stating that the diamond is J color VS2 clarity set in platinum and 18K yellow gold with fine scrolling metalwork and millegraine accents. Circa 1905.

The star here is this utterly amazing old-mine, cushion-cut diamond with its incredible depth as it sits in harmony with the natural lines of the ring. Its well-preserved engraving and bi-color metal contrast wraps it up as a perfect package. 

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.
