Retro 0.30 Carat Old Cut Diamond Engagement Ring, Circa 1945

1920 - 1940

We love how this 1940s diamond solitaire manages to be both dainty and feminine, whilst also being able to make a big statement.

Cool, classy – and different.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Retro engagement rings from the 1940s feature transitional design elements, combining bold geometric forms with two-tone metal settings and old cut or transitional cut diamonds.

Rings from this era were predominantly crafted using yellow gold bands paired with white gold or platinum settings to enhance the colourlessness and visual scale of the central stone.

Authentic pieces display period hallmarks, hand-cut diamonds such as old European or transitional cuts, and characteristic decorative carved shoulders or illusion settings.

A 1940s engagement ring can be paired with a plain yellow gold or platinum wedding band, or stacked alongside modern minimalist bands to highlight its historical setting.

Clean the piece using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft brush, and schedule periodic checks with a professional jeweller to ensure the claws remain secure.
