Art Deco Sapphire and Old European Cut Diamond Engagement Ring in 18k White Gold
A masterclass in geometric Art Deco design. This original 1930s estate ring features a glistening, hand-faceted Old European cut diamond nestled securely within an octagonal illusion frame. The central diamond is beautifully bordered by four synthetic french-cut / calibre-cut deep blue sapphires arranged in a striking compass presentation, a hallmark color contrast highly prized in the Art Deco era.
The architectural setting is crafted in crisp 18k white gold, accented at the corners by pyramid-engraved motifs that catch the light beautifully. The romance continues down the shank, featuring delicate milgrain borders and a rare, openwork infinity-loop split shoulder with hand-engraved wheat detailing.
