Art Deco Engagement Ring / Single Cut Diamond Illusion setting

This beauty is a sweet and timeless engagement ring. What better symbol for your love than this diamond engagement ring which has stood the test of time.

Diamonds were scarce during the war years of world war I and engagement rings from this era often featured the diamonds which they could find or older diamonds taken from older pieces.

This ring features a brilliant single cut diamond set in an illusion setting, with a yellow gold band.

On the shoulders it appears to be gem set but that is just the illusion of the workmanship.

The diamond and the illusion setting is done in 14K White gold. An illusion setting is a prong setting designed to make a diamond look bigger than it actually is. This is accomplished by a ring of metal surrounding the girdle of the diamond. This ring diffuses the outline of the stone causing it to look larger.

This ring is hallmarked for gold purity.

The gold is both white and yellow 14K gold.

Currently the ring is a size 6.5 US
