ITEM: This exquisite antique engagement ring dates to the early 20th century, a golden era of fine craftsmanship and romantic design. Handcrafted in 14K white gold, the ring centers a round transitional cut diamond, flanked by two sparkling round single cut diamonds. Delicate filigree and finely detailed hand engraving flow down the shoulders of the band, showcasing the artistry that defines authentic Edwardian–to–early Art Deco jewelry.
What makes this ring especially captivating today is its diamond cutting style. Transitional cut diamonds were created during the evolution from Old European cuts to modern brilliant cuts, offering a beautiful balance of old-world charm and brighter, more lively sparkle. Their slightly higher crowns and broader facets create a soft, romantic glow that many modern cuts can’t replicate. The accompanying single cut diamonds, with their simple faceting, add subtle brilliance and period-correct elegance, enhancing the center stone without overpowering it.
The center diamond is round, yet it is set in a square head, giving the illusion of a square-cut stone—a highly sought-after design detail from this era. All diamonds sit flush within the setting, making the ring exceptionally comfortable and practical for everyday wear. This thoughtful construction also made the ring ideal for wearing with gloves, a necessity in the early 1900s and a detail that speaks to its original purpose and enduring functionality.
Timeless, romantic, and rich with history, this antique engagement ring is a rare and meaningful choice—perfect for someone who values craftsmanship, heritage, and a diamond that tells a story.
