Handcrafted platinum and diamond ring featuring an old mine-cut (also called a vintage cushion cut) diamond center stone weighing 2.46 carats, J color, VS2 clarity. The center stone measures 8.41 x 7.96 x 5.39 mm. Circa 1890s. The diamond is set in a platinum and diamond Single Stone mounting set with .08 carats of old European cut diamonds. All certification papers and insurance valuation in place.
Old mine-cut diamond has had a surge in demand, making these rare, antique stones significantly more popular increasing their value due to scarcity, uniqueness, and the desire for vintage charm over mass-produced modern diamonds, with some jewelers now creating "replica" old cuts to meet the trend. The value and asking price of this ring is solely focused on the center stone (not the platinum and diamond setting).
Single Stone in LA, the original vintage jeweler is happy to connect with the potential buyer to endorse the stone.
