Five Stone Half Hoop Rings
Five-stone diamond half hoop rings from 1915 epitomise the elegance and craftsmanship of the early 20th century. Featuring old European cut diamonds, these rings are known for their round shape and large facets, which create a captivating sparkle.

Typically, the diamonds are set in a bezel setting, encircling each stone with metal for both security and a sleek, polished appearance. The use of platinum for the bands was common, chosen for its strength and ability to enhance the diamonds' brilliance.

These bands were often slim in design, adding to the refined look. The diamonds were arranged in a graduated design, with the largest stone at the center, tapering to smaller stones on either side, creating a balanced and harmonious effect.

Overall, the design emphasised understated elegance, focusing on the beauty of the diamonds and the meticulous craftsmanship of the setting, making these rings a timeless symbol of classic beauty.
