Vintage ring centering a .85 carat transitional-cut diamond with EGL stating its H-I color, VS1 clarity. Accented with single and baguette cut diamonds, approx. .42 carats, platinum. Circa 1920.

While this diamond is transitional, it represents its old European predecessor heavily with its depth. This ring doesn't lack dimension because of its slightly younger diamond, and it reminds us subtley of the buckle motif from the Victorian era.

Diamond and gold mining has caused devastation in areas such as Africa, wreaking havoc on delicate ecosystems and communities. Choosing to go vintage, you are eliminating the need for more mining and lessening the demand for new diamonds.
