Old-cut diamond ring featuring a 0.64ct natural diamond reclaimed from vintage jewellery.

A diamond ring in UK finger size O, US finger size 7.5.

This ring features a old mine-cut natural diamond that would have been cut in the 1800s - around the time Cowboys were being wild in the West, and Britannia was ruling the waves.
Someone could have slipped it on their finger as the first aeroplane took to the sky, or the last Passenger Pigeon fell to earth.
It's witnessed the rise of Soviet Union, and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Moving pictures to moon landings. Impressionism to the Internet.

The ring that holds it has been made from made from platinum-coated recycled silver. Its surface has been given a Florentine style finish that can only be achieved by hand, and it has been Hallmarked at the London Assay Office.

The diamond has been reclaimed from a piece of vintage jewellery, making it ecologically friendly and ideal for an environmentally responsible owner.
Screened as a natural (not lab-grown) diamond through multi-stage testing, the old-cut diamond in the ring weighs 0.64ct and measures 5mm by 4.8mm in diameter and 3.4mm in depth.

The diamond is estimated to be tinted brown colour and P1 clarity.
As would be expected of a stone of this age, the diamond exhibits a few scrapes and scratches that tell the story of a diamond reclaimed from a well-loved piece of estate jewellery and do not detract from its character.

A report featuring the details of the ring and diamond will be included in this sale.
