Antique, Victorian old-mine diamond five-stone engagement ring 1990s

Antique, Victorian old-mine diamond five-stone engagement ring 1990sProvenance Original to c. 1880, this ornately carved half hoop ring is set with five chunky old mine cut diamonds. The central stone is the largest, and the other four are gradually smaller. All cushion shaped old mine cut diamonds, one of the earliest diamond cuts, these stones were cut before the discovery of the South Africa deposits. They will have originated from either India or Brazil and been cut by hand under daylight or candle light. No two

each hand-cut and with its own characteristic sparkle which gives these diamonds a soft and romantic glow which cannot be replicated today with laser cut stones
