Edwardian 1.31 Carat GIA Certified Old Mine Cut Diamond Platinum Engagement Ring

About the Item

This Edwardian 1.31 Carat GIA Certified Old Mine Cut Diamond Platinum Engagement Ring is a stunning example of early 20th-century jewelry craftsmanship, blending timeless elegance with historical charm. Originating from the Edwardian era (roughly 1901–1910), this ring reflects the period's signature style: delicate, feminine designs paired with the innovative use of platinum, a metal that became prominent during this time for its strength and lustrous sheen. The centerpiece of the ring is a 1.31-carat old mine cut diamond, certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The diamond is GIA graded I color and SI-1 in clarity. The ring is further set with old mine cut diamonds in platinum. The old mine cut, a precursor to modern brilliant cuts, was hand-crafted in the 18th and 19th centuries and continued into the early 20th century. It features a distinctive square or cushion shape with rounded edges, a high crown, a small table, and a deep pavilion. This cut is known for its unique light play—less fiery than modern cuts but with a warm, glowing sparkle that maximizes brilliance under candlelight, a hallmark of its historical context. The GIA certification ensures the diamond’s authenticity and provides detailed grading on its color (e.g., I, as noted in some examples), clarity (e.g., SI-1), and cut quality, offering a reliable assessment of its characteristics. Set in platinum, the ring showcases the metal’s bright, silvery-white finish, which beautifully complements the diamond’s sparkle. Edwardian designs often incorporated intricate details, and this ring might feature delicate filigree work, milgrain edging (tiny beaded accents), or small accent diamonds along the shoulders or surrounding the central stone. For instance, some similar rings include additional old mine cut diamonds set in the band, adding to the overall brilliance and vintage appeal. The shank is likely slender and elegant, typical of the era’s preference for lightweight, wearable luxury. The ring’s size is adjustable (e.g., a size 9.5 that can be resized, as seen in one description), and its weight might be around 4.4 grams, depending on the setting’s complexity. Crafted circa 1910, it embodies the Edwardian fascination with diamonds and platinum, influenced by advancements in gem cutting and the growing availability of diamonds following the establishment of De Beers in 1888. This piece is not just a jewel but a wearable artifact, capturing the romance and refinement of a bygone era
