Turquoise, Diamond and Gold Ring

An exceptional antique ring featuring a wonderful combination of turquoise gemstones and Old European cut diamonds, all set in a 14 karat gold mounting. The ring's design centers on two beautiful turquoise cabochons interspersed with a trio of sparkling Old European cut diamonds, all set in claw prongs in a low-profile gallery. The style of this setting is delicately wrought yet sturdily constructed; designed to showcase as much of the gems as possible, highlighting the delicate contrast of brilliance and light. Examples of antique rings which combine fine turquoise with diamonds are increasingly difficult to find, particularly pieces with such beautiful proportions.

Turquoise has captivated jewelers and collectors for thousands of years and remains one of the most beloved gemstones in the history of jewelry. Fine examples displaying strong color and beautiful natural character have long been especially prized across cultures and generations.

Old European cut diamonds were first faceted during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when diamonds were still cut by hand. They were designed to be worn and viewed by candlelight, not modern electrical lighting. Their larger facets, rounded outlines, and softer reflections give them a warmth and individuality that differs from the precision of modern cuts. Beloved by collectors, Old European cuts possess a romantic handmade quality, perfect for those who love jewelry that feels artisanal, historic and one-of-a-kind.
