This Art Nouveau engagement ring features a .45 carat old European cut diamond in 14 karat yellow gold. The center diamond has a near colorless G color grade, showing virtually no warmth to the naked eye, with VS2 clarity. Set in four prongs, the diamond sits above an ornate filigree mounting with swirl patterns creating negative space throughout the design. The old European cut delivers a different kind of brilliance than modern cuts—its larger facets create flashes of light with vintage character. The intricate metalwork wraps around the finger with flowing Art Nouveau lines, all finished in warm 14 karat yellow gold.
