Antique 1910s 2.50 CTW antique twin marquise diamond and OEC north south ring

A remarkable ca. 1910s elongated 18K and platinum-topped diamond ring starring matched antique marquise diamonds (.65 carat each) and a supporting cast of thirty-nine Old European Cut diamonds. The ring measures one diamond-studded inch top to bottom with 2.50 carats total weight across the ring. The twin stones are plump and luscious, with large culets and inviting facets. These stones were cut in the early 20th century and their antique character is sublime. Eleven graduated Old European Cut diamonds wrap like bonnets around each of the marquise diamonds, giving the design a subtle narrowing at the center of the ring. Three bezel set Old Euros space across the "waist" of the ring and pavé set stirrups hold fourteen further diamonds at the shoulders. This ring sparkles like a hero and looks incredibly flattering on the hand. Excellent condition. Complimentary sizing as needed.
