A very fine antique diamond set in a classic three stone arrangement. The 3+ carat cushion cut stone. Set in our 18k old gold.
Old mine cut diamonds were cut for gas and candle light and omit a darker romantic sparkle. While the precision faceting of modern stone’s main objective is to refract as much white light as possible. A 19th century diamond was cut to preserve as much weight as possible and often follow the same shape as the rough diamond crystal as it was pulled from the ground.
Hand fabricated in our Texas workshop, this ring is in our custom blend of 18K rose gold. A more subdued, darker tone than commercially available rose gold. We call this color “old gold” and created the alloy in the spirit of the many 19th century rings we have handled.
