Old Mine Cut Diamond Ring, 18k Gold, size 5
This stunning antique Old Mine Cut diamond cluster ring features an awesome elongated cushion diamond at the center, surrounded by a halo of eight sparkly diamonds. The cushion is approximately 40-45 points (.40-.45 carats) and is big enough to see the individual facets reflect light and throw fiery flashes (the most fun thing about diamonds, for me!).
The center diamond measures approximately 5x4mm. I would estimate it to be H-I color and SI-1 clarity (it has a small black carbon inclusion that I can see with my loupe. I would say it is eye clean. The inclusion does not impact the sparkle of the stone at all). The eight smaller diamonds are approximately 2.5mm each, and all around the H-I color range and VS2-SI1 clarity range. I would estimate the smaller stones to be around 7 points (.07ct) each, and the estimated total carat weight of the ring is around 1 carat. There are no noticeable chips or damage to the diamonds.
The setting is beautiful 18 karat yellow gold. I believe the prongs have been retipped at some point by a previous owner, making the stones very secure (and saving the next owner quite a bit of money on repairs, because retipping this number of prongs can be costly). The ring is size 5 and sizable (it seems to have been resized in the past). Overall the ring is in excellent condition and good to wear for many years to come. And the sparkle factor of this diamond cluster ring is fantastic. :)
