Vintage Diamond Engagement Ring
This is a vintage-style engagement ring featuring a central square-cut diamond, likely a princess or Asscher cut, set within a raised four-prong mounting. The ring's band is a two-tone construction, typically appearing to be 10k or 14k white gold on the decorative shoulders over a yellow gold band, a common design aesthetic from the mid-20th century (circa 1940s-1950s). The shoulders of the ring are accented with small, inset round-cut diamonds or melee stones, housed within textured or millgrained channels that add a classic Art Deco-influenced geometric flair. Physically, the ring is petite with a thin, tapered shank that shows signs of light wear and surface scratches consistent with age. There is a visible hallmark or maker's stamp on the interior of the band, though it is not legible from this distance. The central stone appears to have a slightly warm tint, characteristic of older diamond cuts. The overall craftsmanship displays traditional die-struck manufacturing techniques with hand-set accents. There are no major missing stones or structural deformities visible, although the prongs may require tightening to ensure stone security.
