Overview:
Stylish vintage diamond cluster ring crafted in platinum (circa 1950s).
Old European cut diamond (center) is estimated at 0.33 carats. Smaller old European and single cut diamonds total an estimated 0.22 carats. The total diamond weight is estimated at 0.55 carats (estimated at I-J color and SI1-I2 clarity).
The simple and elegant cluster design highlights the old European cut diamonds. Designed as a smaller cocktail ring the diamonds offer loads of sparkle and fire and makes an elegant statement on the hand. The ring has a low profile and rises 5mm or 0.19 inches from the finger.
The ring is in good condition and was recently lightly cleaned and polished. Patina is evident and preserved for collector value.
The piece was acquired on a recent trip to Portugal, one of Europe's most exciting destinations for discovering exceptional antique and vintage jewelry. Portugal's thriving antiques community, historic markets, and renowned art and antiques fairs provided access to remarkable jewelry with provenance, exceptional beauty and character. Each piece was carefully selected for craftsmanship, originality and history. I am delighted to share these newly acquired pieces. Please shop our site to view the entire collection.
