Vintage 18K White Gold Diamond Engagement Ring · Art Deco Geometric Engraved ...

A beautifully detailed vintage 18K white gold diamond ring featuring a delicate raised setting and intricately engraved shoulders, with design influences from the late Art Deco and early Retro periods.
 
At its centre is a round diamond measuring approximately 2.55 mm, secured in a traditional four-prong setting. The elevated mount gives the diamond a lovely presence while maintaining the refined proportions of an early vintage engagement ring.
 
The shoulders are particularly distinctive, decorated with geometric engraving and stylized foliate motifs. Small angular patterns, fine incised lines and pierced detailing create an architectural quality, while the design gradually tapers into a slender white gold band.
 
The open gallery beneath the diamond adds further detail to the setting, allowing light to enter from below. The combination of crisp geometric elements and softer decorative accents is characteristic of jewellery from the transition between the Art Deco and Retro periods.
 
Crafted in solid 18K white gold, the ring has been tested for gold purity and bears an 18K hallmark alongside a maker's mark. The softly aged finish and surviving engraved details give this piece the character of an authentic vintage jewel.
 
A lovely choice for an understated vintage engagement ring or a distinctive addition to an antique and estate jewellery collection.
