A striking antique diamond solitaire ring crafted in solid platinum and set with a substantial old cut natural diamond weighing approximately 2.8 to 3.0 carats assessed mounted. The diamond displays beautiful chunky old cut facets which are particularly desirable among antique jewellery collectors giving the stone a distinctive character and soft romantic brilliance. Measuring approximately 9.2mm in diameter with a front spread of around 10mm claw to claw the diamond has an impressive presence on the hand. The stone has been screened and assessed as fully natural with no enhancements. It is secured within a strong eight claw platinum setting providing both security and an elegant period appearance. The diamond is graded approximately SI2 to I1 clarity with some slight feathering towards the perimeter while remaining very clean through the centre and shows a warm K colour typical of antique stones. The ring is marked for platinum and has also been professionally tested confirming the metal purity. With a slim 2mm shank and a setting height of approximately 7.5mm the ring maintains classic antique proportions while showcasing the impressive centre stone. This beautiful antique ring is believed to have originally cost over £3000 when purchased in the 1970s making it a fascinating and desirable collector’s piece today.
