ITEM: This breathtaking Edwardian-era engagement ring showcases the elegance and craftsmanship that defined jewelry design from 1901 to 1915, a period celebrated for its airy, romantic metalwork and delicate attention to detail. At the center of this piece glows a 1.24 carat round transitional cut diamond, a coveted cut that represents the bridge between the old European cut and the modern round brilliant. Transitional cuts were crafted in the 1920s–1930s and are known for their taller crowns, smaller tables, and beautifully balanced sparkle—offering both the charm of antique faceting and the brilliance of later modern stones.
 
The diamond rests in an exquisite 18K white gold filigree setting, a hallmark of Edwardian design. Filigree refers to the intricate lace-like patterns created by carefully carving or hand-soldering fine threads of metal, resulting in an open, airy look that feels almost weightless. These scrolling, floral, and geometric motifs give the ring an unmistakable sense of refinement and lightness, as though the diamond is held in a delicate web of precious metal.
 
Elegant, feminine, and beautifully preserved, this engagement ring is a perfect example of Edwardian artistry—where craftsmanship and romance came together to create jewelry that feels timeless.
