About the Item

A natural diamond of 4.74 ct weight takes centre stage in this French Art Déco ring. The diamond is cut in the so-called transitional cut, the modern brilliant cut's direct predecessor, typical of the ring's time of manufacture. Four chatons hold the gemstone subtly yet securely. Its colour appears white to slightly tinted (Top Cape, L), depending on the light and angle, while its purity withstands even a critical look through the magnifying glass. Flanking the magnificent centre stone, a baguette-cut and a trapezoid-cut diamond are set onto the ring shoulders on each side, creating a strikingly chic design typical of the Art Déco era. The large solitaire and its glistening companions are set in platinum, emphasizing their brilliance. The ring is hallmarked for France and was likely made in Paris. A one-of-a-kind engagement ring in excellent condition, it is a timeless piece even 80 years after its creation and will doubtlessly remain so for decades to come. The main stone has been graded by an independent gemological institute to be of"vsi1" clarity, meaning it has no inclusions visible to the naked eye. Its purity is also what lets the diamond shine. Due to the light tint of the gemstone, hardly noticeable to the untrained eye, its price remains far beneath that of a bright white diamond of the same size and purity level. The piece will be delivered with the independent certificate of a renowned gemological institute of Idar-Oberstein, Germany.
