*This Ring Can Be Resized.
Around the turn of the 20th century, diamond rings emerged as a widespread trend in Europe and America. At that time, it served as both a romantic gesture as well as a financial commitment.
Culturally, women were growing familiar with the concept of accepting a diamond as both a token of romantic love and an insurance policy for impending nuptials. The basic idea was that, since diamonds were not cheap, giving a diamond ring would make a man think twice before calling off an engagement. History shows us how seriously engagement rings are taken. In the 13th century, a trend emerged in which young men would present women with slapdash straw rings as a silly prank. An English Bishop caught wind of this and declared that these “engagement rings” would be considered binding by the church, which quickly killed the fun.
Years on, diamond rings have endured as the perfect, serious romantic gesture. They have evolved over the years, following trends and tastes. This excellent ring was fabricated during the Art Deco era. As such, it’s composed of a well-crafted platinum band and setting, with fine detailing and pretty accent diamonds. But the big, beautiful star is a 1.65ct antique cushion cut diamond. It is graded with a color of I and a clarity of S1. An absolutely amazing feat of romance, craftsmanship and eternal companionship.
