Old European Round Cut Antique Diamond Engagement Rings

Old European Round Cut Diamond from GIA | Mark Broumand
The predecessor to the modern Round Brilliant, the old European round cut diamond engagement ring features a circular girdle on a 58-facet stone. The old European has larger, chunky facets which create a world of white and dark light contrast within the diamond, very much resembling a “checkerboard” pattern. The larger facets also visually display slower light scintillation than the fiery and brilliant modern round diamonds. Though the old European and modern round brilliant are similar in some ways, the overall facets and light behavior are very different in the two cuts.

Custom designed from top to bottom, you will not find an old European round diamond engagement ring like this anywhere else. The mesmerizing 2.82ct antique European round center diamond is GIA certified at O-P, VS1. It has a beautiful light yellow color and is exceptionally clear, even under 10X magnification. The yellow adds additional warmth to the center diamond, enhanced by the yellow gold prongs that secure it. It is enhanced by a combination of 8 round brilliant cut and straight-step baguette diamonds. It is fashioned in bright platinum with additional round brilliant cut diamonds almost halfway down the shank. She will truly love this one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
