Own a remarkable piece of Edwardian elegance with this Antique Australian 2.62ct cushion old cut diamond ring. Made by the esteemed Gaunt of Melbourne, Australia the ring dates to circa 1900. At the centre is a commanding 2.62 carat cushion old cut diamond, its broad, hand cut facets are alive with the warm, fierce fire that only an antique stone can possess. The diamonds colour: N and clarity: VS2 give the diamond a luminous presence that reads both substantial and refined on the finger.

What truly distinguishes this ring is the exquisitely executed saw pierced foliate gallery beneath the stone, created by a skilled craftsman. Viewed from every angle, the gallery reveals delicate, hand cut foliage motifs that were patiently created with a jeweller’s saw and steady hand. This openwork not only lightens the profile but also casts dancing shadows into the diamond, enhancing its depth and personality. The visible tool marks and slight asymmetries are the fingerprints of a craftsman at work and cannot be reproduced by machine, making this ring a singular example of turn of the century skill.

The metal pairing elevates the design: a cool platinum setting securely holds the diamond while an 18ct yellow gold gallery and band introduce a warm, honeyed contrast. The platinum’s colour accentuates the stone’s brilliance and structural precision while the yellow gold adds a soft, flattering glow against the skin. Together they create a harmonious palette that reads both classic and wearable, allowing the diamond’s size and character to remain front and centre.

Nestled in its original box, this Gaunt creation is a connection to a bygone era. Imagine the thrill of slipping this ring on your hand and feeling the history, craftsmanship and romance it carries. Whether chosen as an unforgettable engagement ring or a treasured statement piece, it promises to be a conversation starting heirloom that will be cherished for generations.
