  • History
  • Pieces like this ring are archetypal to the legacy of antique jewellery. This 15ct Rose Gold ring holds a solitaire 2.03ct old European Cushion Cut Diamond, within six claws. The Diamond appears to be floating, and has all the attributes that old European Cut Diamonds offer; the slow warm glint due to larger facets and that irreplaceable resemblance to melting ice. Rings like this are among our favourites, due to their rarity, elegance and beauty. This ring is an ode to an 'old world' and like a time capsule, it allows us to be transported back to the elegance of a bygone era.

  • Edwardian & Belle Époque Period (1901 - 1910):
    
Named after the reigning King Edward VII and with notable influences from French Rococo décor, this period was the shortest in antique jewellery history. However, it was during this time that platinum was introduced into the art of jewellery making which changed the way diamonds could be set. The popular jewellery design at the time was the “garland” which flowed on from the Art Nouveau period as it focused on nature but more particularly, on flowers and leaves often arranged in some circular shape. Through the use of milgrain and pierced and engraved metals, the Belle Époque designs gave way to jewellery that mimicked the delicate nature of lace and ribbon with natural pearls and old mine cut diamonds being the material of choice.
