This Art Deco Belais diamond solitaire engagement ring is framed by a square mounting.  This estate jewelry ring features a bright white old European diamond (0.22, SI3, I).  This old European diamond is framed by an elaborate square shaped 18 kt ( 750 ) gold mounting.  All four sides of this square shaped mounting have linear engraved designs that are separated by cut open designs.  An engraved wheat shank completes the classic beauty of this Belais engagement ring.

Old-European cut diamonds were the primary diamond cut from 1900 to 1920.  They are often thought to be old mine cut diamonds, as they have a high crown and fewer cuts than other diamonds.  They offer an amazing glow in low light, as many homes in the early 1900s still did not have electricity.

This estate jewelry ring was made by the American company, Belais.
