Vintage Diamond Art Nouveau Cluster Ring, 18k Gold
Old cut diamonds can be dangerous. The more of them you see, the more of them you desire to own! Whereas modern brilliant cut diamonds can be nice and sparkly, old European cuts like these are more like individual works of art. Hand cut by master craftsmen who spent decades learning their craft; these cutters used no computers, no lasers, they used their eyes, their experience and their hands, often cutting with tools they had made themselves. The result is a diamond with a uniqueness of character that simply cannot be found in today's modern cut stones. This European ring showcases a cushion cut diamond center with large cut facets that cause it to flash with slow and stunning sparks of colorful fire surrounded by a halo of fascinating old cut diamonds. A stone that was made to be worn by candlelight, but looks fantastic in any light. This ring is handcrafted in 18 karat yellow gold, the center is a somewhat oval Old European cut with a large culet that weighs about .5 carat
