1912 Buttercup Set Edwardian Old Mine Cut Diamond Solitaire

The Story This Edwardian Era (cira 1912) buttercup set Old Mine Diamond solitaire is one of the more unique versions we've seen! The buttercup setting has its roots in the previous era, the Victorian period. The style is a variation of the prong setting, its prongs emerge from the mounting in scalloped shapes, created a floral, petal motif. Crafted in warm, 18 karat gold, this setting features a much thicker prong on either side, inverting the petal shape so it tapers into the shoulders of the ring. It beautifully elevates the .40 carat Old Mine Cut Diamond, allowing light to pour through the buttercup petals and set it alight. We love the added detail of the carved shoulder of the band, making this ring interesting to look at from any angle.  The Details 18 karat yellow gold Old Mine Cut Diamond, approximately 0.40 carats, SI2, O-P 5.82 grams 8.88mm width on top of the finger, tapers down to 3.40mm width under the finger Ring size 7.75, complimentary ring resize available upon reques
