An Art Deco engagement ring from 1920 comprises an 18k yellow gold band and a central diamond. The piece displays a polished gold finish and a clear gemstone colour. A cushion-shaped old mine cut diamond weighing 2.01 carats sits securely in a claw setting with four double claws at each corner. Ornamental detailing decorates the gallery, flowing smoothly into a slim and tapering shank featuring incised line motifs near the shoulders. The diamond measures 7.59 x 7.51 mm and sits 7.0 mm from the finger, while the entire object measures 30 cm high, 25 cm wide, and 5 cm deep in practical terms. Designed for personal wear as an engagement ring, the piece functions as a sophisticated jewellery item suited for daily use or special occasions today. The classic yellow gold construction combined with the vintage diamond cut brings a distinct period aesthetic to modern wardrobes. GIA grading reports confirm the central stone holds F colour and SI1 clarity specifications, highlighting the high standard of craftsmanship typical of the 1920 era.

FAQs

1920s solitaire rings frequently feature hand-cut diamonds, such as cushion or old European cuts, held in multi-claw settings created during the transition to the Art Deco era.

These pieces are typically crafted using 18 carat yellow gold or platinum, securing natural hand-faceted diamonds with small tables and open culets.

An authentic old cut diamond displays hand-cut symmetry, a high crown, a deep pavilion, and an open culet visible through the centre of the table.

An antique diamond solitaire pairs with a minimal yellow gold band or can be stacked alongside gem-set bands for visual contrast.

Clean the setting gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, ensuring periodic inspections by a jeweller to check claw security.
