Art Deco Engagement Ring, circa 1925

This is an antique Art Deco period engagement ring, reportedly dated circa 1925. The piece features a high-profile setting crafted in a white metal, likely platinum or 18k white gold, which was standard for the era. The central focal point is a large, transitional or Old European cut clear stone—possibly a diamond or white sapphire—held securely by a sophisticated six-prong cathedral mounting. The shoulders of the ring are accented with smaller faceted baguettes or tapered stones held in geometric channel settings, a hallmark of the 1920s aesthetic. The bands' undergallery shows intricate openwork, illustrating high-quality craftsmanship intended to maximize light entry to the stones. Physical condition appears fair but used; there is notable surface grime and lint across the setting and under the pavilion of the stone, alongside fine scratches and a dulling of the metal consistent with age and frequent wear. The central stone exhibits some visible internal inclusions or cloudiness under the table. While internal stamps are mentioned by the user as ‘cc 1925,’ they are not visible in this specific profile photograph. The structural integrity of the prongs seems intact, though a professional cleaning and tightening would be necessary for a full appraisal.
