A wonderful find, this pristine vintage 1930's Platinum and Diamond trilogy ring is quite splendid quality. A fascinating symmetry, the immensely glittery old hand cut Diamonds are set snugly together with the tiniest of Platinum claws (Platinum is such a strong metal, which is why it is used for the claws). The gems are magnificent each with the uniquely beautiful faceting which is characteristic of this cut which melds the science of how light disperses through the Diamond and yet still reflects a little of the original shaping of the crystal and shows the skill of the cutter. Both giddying and unique!
We have measured the stones with a Schindler gauge at 2.30ct combined (0.65: 1.00: 0.65ct). The cushiony shaped old Diamonds were cut at least a century and a half ago and have that warm glittery beauty which draws the eye (see the image which shows the quirky and uneven faceting). They are uncertificated and will likely not compare well with the modern certification system (which was developed in 1952) although they are nicely clean.
The mount of Platinum is hand made (under magnification even the saw marks are visible) and the raised coronet style is light and lovely and one can see the chunky Pavilions through the open gallery. A ring which will be coveted for it's unforgettable impact upon the hand, perfect as an engagement or anniversary ring. The ring size could easily be altered to suit, but measures at an 'J' or '4.75' as is.
