ITEM: This enchanting late Victorian ring showcases the timeless beauty of an old European cut diamond, set in a richly detailed 14K yellow gold setting. The diamond is held in a classic buttercup-style prong setting, a beloved motif of the era that mimics the gentle petals of a blooming flower—lifting the stone softly above the band while adding romantic, sculptural charm.
 
The old European cut diamond is a treasure in its own right. Hand-cut in the 1800s to early 1900s, these diamonds are known for their tall crowns, small tables, and broad, hand-shaped facets that create a warm, candlelit sparkle. Unlike the precision of modern cuts, each old European cut diamond carries the unique character of the artisan who shaped it, resulting in a look that feels soulful, historic, and unmistakably antique.
 
The ring’s shoulders are beautifully detailed, adding texture and grace that enhance the buttercup setting and draw the eye toward the center stone. Crafted during the late Victorian era, this piece blends elegance, symbolism, and the romance of hand-wrought design.
