This all-original ring has English hallmarks for the year 1854. The primary diamond is a lively .85 carat Old Mine Cut diamond, cushion-shaped and full of light. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe diamond saw did not exist when this diamond was cut, which meant that the only way that the cutter could facet it was by grinding the rough diamond crystal away, bit by bit. Think of it more like “diamond sculpting” than “diamond cutting.” This method resulted in a classic antique cut diamond with a deep body, steep crown, and small table (the largest facet on the top). The proportions of this diamond allow for a slow-burning brilliance, flickering sparkle, and warm, colorful play of light. The diamond is set in a belcher setting with a low profile and ornate, Rococo-esque details. The use of high-karat gold and enamel was not uncommon for mid-19th century engagement rings, but even among the beautiful examples in this category this ring stands out for its exceptional gold and enamel work. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote: This ring comes with a jewelry appraisal for insurance\/replacement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasurements: Size 7 1\/2 US, 6.5 grams\u003cbr\u003eDiamond details: (1) .85 Old Mine Cut diamond, VS2\/L-M 6.0 x 4.9\/4.0 mm\u003cbr\u003eMarkings: Full English hallmarks, including the date letter for 1854\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean Jean Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48331951833271,"sku":null,"price":5412.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/6400\/7607\/files\/77430726-B5F2-4C66-95CD-9DA2D125360D.jpg?v=1777409311","url":"https:\/\/jeanjeanvintage.com\/en-de\/products\/antique-victorian-1850s-18k-85-carat-vs2-l-m-old-mine-cut-diamond-engagement-ring","provider":"Jean Jean Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
