A stunning over 1 1/4 ct diamond shines in this traditional solitaire estate diamond engagement ring. Your attention is immediately driven to the radiance from this old European-cut diamond that is slightly yellow in color (1.30 ct, VS1, M). This old-cut diamond carries an appraisal with a VS1 quality grade, indicating that inclusions are difficult to see when using a 10 power loupe. Since the beauty is in the diamond, this gorgeous diamond is mounted in a traditional solitaire 14kt white gold mounting and held by four strong gold prongs.
Old European-cut diamonds were the predominant diamond cut in the early 1900s. Because they have a high crown and an open culet, they are frequently mistaken for old-mine cut diamonds. These were the transitional diamond cut between old-mine cut diamonds and today's brilliant cut diamond.
