An Art Deco engagement ring (circa 1930), featuring a 0.43ct modern round brilliant natural diamond of G color, VS2-SI1 clarity in a stepped tier platinum mounting with single cut side diamonds. The platinum setting enhances the diamonds' natural sparkle, creating a timeless engagement ring that remains as sophisticated today as it was a century ago.
The ring face measures approximately 0.4 inches from north to south and weighs 2.84 grams. The ring is currently a size 6.25 and can be professionally resized for an additional charge. It remains in great condition; however, the center diamond is a later replacement stone.
Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity. Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming platinum/palladium construction.
A beautiful example of Art Deco design, this engagement ring combines the enduring appeal of antique diamonds with the refined elegance and superior craftsmanship that define one of jewelry history's most celebrated periods.
