Vintage Diamond Solitaire with a Platinum Illusion Setting

This elegant vintage diamond engagement ring combines the warmth of 18ct yellow gold with a beautifully detailed platinum setting, designed to maximise the visual presence of its central diamond.

The natural round brilliant-cut diamond weighs approximately 0.40 carats, with an attractive I colour and VS clarity grading. Its near-colourless appearance is complemented by the bright white platinum setting, helping to emphasise the diamond's natural brilliance.

Rather than relying on a conventional four or six-claw solitaire mount, the diamond is surrounded by a decorative arrangement of polished platinum sections and fine claws.

These create a scalloped, almost floral appearance around the stone, extending the overall setting diameter to approximately 6.5mm — comparable to the diameter of a one-carat round brilliant-cut diamond.

The illusion setting creates additional visual impact without requiring a larger central diamond, making this an attractive example of traditional diamond jewellery design.

Elegant Yellow Gold Band with Openwork Shoulders

The diamond setting is supported by a polished 18ct yellow gold band, measuring approximately 2mm wide.

The shoulders rise gently towards the platinum mount, incorporating attractive pierced details beneath the setting. These openings create a lighter, more delicate appearance while highlighting the contrast between the yellow gold and white platinum.

The ring has a total weight of 3 grams, combining a comfortable band with a prominent, beautifully detailed diamond setting.

Birmingham Hallmarked in 1989

The ring retains its original British hallmark, including the WEG sponsor's mark, Birmingham Assay Office stamp, 18ct gold marking and date letter P for 1989.

Its traditional illusion setting and contrasting precious metals give the ring an appealing vintage character, offering an alternative to modern diamond solitaire engagement rings.
