Art Deco Era OEC Diamond Spiderweb Filigree Engagement Ring in 18k Gold
Poor Mouchette
* * SOLD * *
An elegant, Art Deco era engagement ring, modeled in 18k white gold, whose primary gem is a .96 carat old European cut diamond (K, VVS). This soulful, hand-cut diamond is bead-set into the ring's hexagonal face, where it is flanked by two smaller, old mine cut diamonds— these chunky supporters rest in pennant-shaped seats to the East and West. This fine filigree setting features an ornate gallery, whose delicate design resembles a spider's web. Its edges are finished with sparkling milgrain. The ring's shoulders are engraved with folate decor that gives the impression of a single broad leaf. Its slender half-round shank tapers from the shoulder toward the base. This is a crisp, iconic, Art Deco era mount, and the diamond it holds is warm, clean, and very very lively. It would make a lovely engagement ring.
