Old cut diamonds make us weak at the knees - and these five old European cuts are exactly why. Those amazing hand carved facets - in almost circular shaped stones. And the open culets - these make us swoon, and this ring has a range of them - from one very open one on one of the edges, and right next to it, the smallest of the five. This is what we love most about these stones - all perfectly unique and no two the same.
Rings with a past and a tale to tell - we love them! This amazing five stone half hoop has clearly been adored over its lifetime and we love the changes and developments it has been through to get to us. The original ring was probably closer to an M or N in size - but it has been sized down. So if you have tiny fingers this ring has real finger presence, and if you need it sized up (anything to about a P or a 7) this ring will go to that (and we can arrange that for you - get in touch for a quote). The ring had also obviously had wear over time across the top - so a past owner has had the claws all re-tipped. To enhance the colour of the diamonds this has been done in 9ct white gold (on the 18ct yellow gold base). This does mean the diamonds are lovely and secure and they have a lovely white sparkle to them. From the side you get a mixed metal look - the original swirls of the gallery are still beautiful and rich in their yellow gold hue.

FAQ
Sizing
What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.
We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.
