Mid-century, 18K gold diamond engagement ring, South African, 1958

Provenance

It doesn't get much better than this when it comes to engagement - a fine 0.30 carat diamond, colour E, clarity VS2, grabs all the attention with its scintillating brilliance and fire. Set in white gold that shows off its colour marvellously. The shoulders slope off gently from the stone with abstract designs that blend beautifully with the warm yellow gold band - creating a strong contrast that's pleasing to the eye. Not only has this ring all of the aforementioned qualities, but it was made in South Africa in 1958 (dated exactly!), which is so unique. This is a perfect engagement ring for a South African couple who love their heritage and want to own the perfect heirloom piece to pass from generation to generation.
