This enchanting old European cut posy cluster ring is a genuine piece of 20th century history from the 1920s — a delicate treasure that has survived for over 100 years. The design reads as quietly romantic and impeccably feminine: a dainty 1.90mm band in warm 18ct yellow gold supports a finely worked, contrasting 18ct white gold top where nine Old European cut diamonds form a classic posy cluster. The subtle contrast between white and yellow gold amplifies the cluster’s brightness while preserving the ring’s antique character and wearable elegance.

1920s Design

At the heart of the design, nine old European cut diamonds — the soft, antique cuts prized before modern brilliant standards — create a compact, floral-like cluster that catches the light with a gentle, antique scintillation. The ring features a total of 15 diamonds totalling 0.45ct, including six single cut accent diamonds set along the shoulders in a pavé setting. These shoulder stones delicately extend the sparkle without overwhelming the ring’s refined proportions, reinforcing the sense of miniature grandeur typical of the 1920s.

Posy Cluster Setting

The posy cluster setting is rich with symbolism. Historically, posies were short love poems or nicknames exchanged between lovers; translated into jewellery, a posy cluster becomes a wearable declaration of affection and promise. This ring’s compact floral motif evokes that intimate sentiment — perfect as a token of devotion, a meaningful engagement alternative, or a cherished heirloom to mark a personal milestone. Its size and silhouette are intentionally demure, designed to be worn every day or reserved for special moments when understated elegance is required.

Authenticity and Soul

Hand crafted details, the contrast of metals, and the warm patina accumulated over a century all contribute to the ring’s authenticity and soul. It invites comparison with modern pieces, offering a tactile connection to the craftsmanship and romantic ideals of the Jazz Age. For the buyer who values provenance, sentiment, and subtle glamour, this 1920s old European cut posy cluster ring presents an irresistible combination of history, symbolism, and wearability — a small but powerful statement that speaks of love, time, and enduring style.
