About the Item

A gorgeous vintage diamond engagement ring with two fitted ring guards from the 1960s by legendary designer OSCAR HEYMAN! This unique trio of rings is composed of platinum, and the central marquise diamond in the engagement ring weighs 1.00ct with G color and Internally Flawless clarity according to a GIA Diamond Grading Report (#531295, dated 11/1990). The center diamond is flanked by two tapered baguette diamonds weighing approximately 0.18ctw/each with G/H color, VS range clarity. The engagement ring also features an open gallery and cathedral style mounting, allowing for plenty of light to flood the diamonds. The engagement ring is marked for platinum. The engagement ring is accompanied by a recent appraisal dated February of 2023 by a GIA Diamonds Graduate with a retail replacement value of $14,500. Please note that the engagement ring is not a signed Oscar Heyman piece. The engagement ring is accompanied by two signed Oscar Heyman custom platinum bands that engulf the marquise engagement ring like a jacket. Each guard contains thirteen round brilliant cut diamonds in channel settings. The estimated carat weight of each guard is approximately 0.32ctw, totaling 0.64cts, with E-F range color and VVS1 clarity. The two guards are signed with the Heyman signature hallmark, as well as a serial number. A stunning and classic set, this marquise diamond ring suite has a really bold look and would make a perfect engagement ring! Measurements: The engagement ring is currently a size 4 1/4. The ring jackets are currently both a size 4 1/2. All of the rings in this suite can be resized at your request. Condition: The overall condition of the suite is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the platinum setting, and all of the diamonds are intact and securely set.

Oscar Heyman

Known as “the jewelers’ jeweler,” Oscar Heyman (1888–1970) designed pieces for Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, Harry Winston and Black, Starr & Frost. The family-run Oscar Heyman & Brothers jewelry company was founded by Heyman with his brothers Nathan and Harry in 1912. Jewelers from Latvia, they had trained at their great-uncle’s workshop, which had clients including Russian imperial jeweler Fabergé, before immigrating to the United States in the early 1900s.

After arriving in New York, Oscar worked with Pierre Cartier and Nathan was a tool maker at Western Electric before they came together to open their jewelry business. Highly skilled craftsmen, the Heyman brothers quickly developed a roster of high-profile clients — primarily big-name jewelers — drawn to their work with dazzling stones and meticulous design. In 1917, Black, Starr & Frost commissioned the brothers to design an American flag brooch, which would become a recurring motif in the Oscar Heyman & Brothers portfolio. They also designed the Pansy brooch in the 1930s, another long-popular accessory that was produced exclusively for Tiffany & Co. toward the end of the 20th century. After Heyman designed for four of the five jewelers on view at the 1939 World’s Fair House of Jewels (Cartier, Udall & Ballou, Marcus & Co. and Black, Starr & Frost), the company was given the moniker “the jewelers’ jeweler.”

Heyman & Brothers later designed gem-encrusted medallions that traveled to the moon on Apollo 16, the necklace setting for the 69-carat diamond Richard Burton gave Elizabeth Taylor in 1969 and even a pair of ruby-encrusted Stuart Weitzman stilettos in 2003. Over the years, the company has entranced such clients as Evelyn Lauder, Marjorie Merriweather Post, Billy Porter and Tina Fey with its pieces.

In 2012, the century-old jeweler underwent a rebranding to simplify its name to Oscar Heyman and today is still run by the Heyman family, which manages the whole process from alloying their own metal to cutting and polishing their gemstones to assembling the final product in-house. In 2017, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston published a monograph authored by Yvonne J. Markowitz and Elizabeth Hamilton that details for a broader audience the history of Oscar Heyman, an unsung company that’s long been behind some of the biggest names in jewelry.
