A Piece of History on Your Finger

This isn't just an engagement ring—it's a genuine antique from the 1890s, over 130 years old. Crafted during the Victorian era when jewelry was made entirely by hand, this ring features old mine cut diamonds (.70ctw) set in a combination of 18K gold and platinum. It's a wearable piece of history with authentic period charm.

The Romance of Old Mine Cut Diamonds

Old mine cut diamonds were hand-cut before modern precision tools existed, giving each stone unique character and a warm, romantic glow. These antique cuts have larger facets that create a softer, more subtle sparkle than modern brilliant cuts—perfect for those who appreciate vintage authenticity over maximum flash.

Rare Victorian Craftsmanship

The combination of 18K gold and platinum was a hallmark of fine Victorian jewelry. This ring has survived over a century in remarkable condition, a testament to the quality of its construction. Finding authentic antique engagement rings from this era in wearable condition is increasingly rare.
