Antique ring centering an oval cabochon turquoise approx. .90 carat in a surround of 12 old European cut diamonds approx. .40 carat, mounted in engraved 14k yellow gold. Center: 11.8 x 10mm, band: 1.4 - 1.9mm. Circa 1900.

We love how a bright and beautiful turquoise reminds us why diamonds aren't the only option for engagement rings.

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.
