About the Item

This late Deco Era ring was originally set with an oval diamond but it was weirdly dark -- much too dark to stand up to its bright and clean supporting diamonds -- so we reset it with a beautiful, rich red ruby. The ring is platinum, extremely well made and well-maintained. We know its previous owner so we can say with some assurance it was made in the 1930s. It's pavé-set with a row of six single-cut diamonds on the top and bottom, with six straight baguettes channel-set in little half-barrels on the sides. All diamonds are earth-mined, untreated and very clean. Eytan rates their color between G and I. For clarity, he thinks they're easily in the VS range, with the baguettes squarely in the VS1 camp or better. The ruby is around 15 years old and was mined in Thailand. It's a mixed cut oval, meaning the top of the stone is faceted like a brilliant cut diamond but the bottom is faceted in a traditional checkerboard step cut. This is a standard cut for colored gemstones. The ring comes with a new (July of 2023) GIA report certifying the stone is untreated except for heat (which a customary permanent treatment to which nearly all rubies are subjected). Currently this ring is a size 5-1/4; resizing is complimentary for full-price buyers and negotiable otherwise. Weights & Measurements: Ring face: 14.5mm wide x 10.3mm tall Band width: 1.6mm Band thickness: 1.0mm Round diamond weight: 0.36 carats (0.03 carats per 2mm stone) Baguette weight: 0.36 carats (0.06 carats per 2.5mm x 2mm stone) Total estimated diamond weight: 0.72 carats Ruby measurements: 6.2mm x 5.3mm x 3.3mm Ruby weight (certified): 1.06 carats Ring weight: 6.4 grams The ring is stamped 90% IRID PLAT, which means it's 90% pure platinum alloyed with iridium, a metal in the platinum family. This was the standard American recipe for platinum for most of the last century, but not commonly used in other countries, so it always brands an item as American-made. There are no maker's marks.

GIA Certified H/VS2 1.03 Carat Diamond in Bombe Edwardian-Style Platinum Ring

GIA Certified H/VS2 1.03 Carat Diamond in Bombe Edwardian-Style Platinum Ring

By Eytan Brandes

Located in Sherman Oaks, CA

Eytan Brandes designed this ring using various elements he likes from Edwardian engagement rings, such as the carinated shank, the coin-edged pavé setting plates, and the elevated, almost bombé face. This is the second time he has used this mounting, and this is the first time he's set it entirely in diamonds. The center prong-set diamond is a clean and beautiful brilliant cut round stone weighing 1.03 carats. The prongs rise from a band (not actually a bezel) around the stone, minimizing the prongy effect, and keeping the stone's elevation at a graceful minimum. The dramatically curved face of the mounting is made up of little coin-edged plates, joined from below. Each plate hosts between one and five stones meticulously set by our best gem-setter. The little banner-shaped plates around the center stone give it a whimsical eight-pointed star halo, while the long plates...
