This vintage brilliant cut diamond ring is a refined expression of mid century elegance — a piece that feels at home as an engagement ring or as a standout everyday treasure. At its centre sits a beautifully faceted round brilliant cut diamond weighing 1.30ct, graded K–L in colour with an exceptional VVS clarity. Set in a secure six claw setting, the central stone commands attention with lively brilliance and a classic silhouette that flatters every hand.

1950s Design

Accompanying the centre are two tapered baguette cut diamonds and two round brilliant cut accents, artfully set into the shoulders to create a balanced, architectural profile. These four shoulder diamonds total 0.28ct, adding refined sparkle and visual length to the design without detracting from the dominant central stone. The contrast of cuts — the centre’s lively round brilliant cut diamond against the clean, linear baguettes — gives the ring a sophisticated, vintage character that reads both glamorous and wearable.

Technical Elements

Crafted in 18ct white gold, the ring is finished on a comfortable tapered band that measures approximately 2.70mm at the shoulders, narrowing to 1.90mm beneath the finger. This tapering provides a delicate, feminine look while ensuring the ring sits comfortably and pairs seamlessly with slim wedding bands or stacking rings. The six claw setting offers classic security and allows maximum light into the central diamond for optimum fire and scintillation.

Fine Craftsmanship

Beyond its technical merits, this circa 1950s ring carries the romance of the post-war era — an era when jewellery balanced accessibility with fine craftsmanship. It’s for the person who appreciates a strong central diamond, subtle architectural detail, and the authenticity of a vintage piece with provenance and personality. Whether you’re searching for an engagement ring with instant presence, a special anniversary gift, or a daily-wear jewel that elevates every outfit, this brilliant cut diamond ring delivers timeless glamour and enduring appeal.

Presented ready to wear, it’s a rare opportunity to own a mid-century ring with a substantial central diamond, premium clarity, and a silhouette that will never go out of style. Embrace the sparkle, history, and craftsmanship — make this 1950s classic yours.
