Exceptional Gemstone & Antique Artistry
Hand-Faceted Old European Cut Diamond: The central diamond is a genuine antique Old European cut, celebrated for its unique inner fire and individual personality. Hand-cut by a master craftsman over a century ago, it maximizes light dispersion into broad, colorful flashes.
Classic 6-Prong Buttercup Collet: The diamond is nestled low and secure within a beautifully sculpted 6-prong setting. The prongs gracefully taper into a subtle floral or crown-like gallery, providing excellent light entry from beneath the stone while keeping a highly wearable profile.
Elegantly Pinched Solitaire Shoulders: The solid 14k rosy gold band features clean, graceful shoulders that softly pinch as they approach the center diamond, naturally drawing the eye upward to maximize the stone's visual presence.
