Vintage Diamond Engagement Ring Set

This item is a vintage diamond engagement ring set, estimated to be from the mid to late 1970s. The set appears to consist of an engagement ring with a prominent central diamond and a contouring wedding band, likely designed to fit snugly against the engagement ring. The metal appears to be white gold or platinum, exhibiting a polished, reflective surface, though some natural patina or minor surface scratching may be present consistent with its age and use. The central diamond of the engagement ring appears to be a marquise or pear cut, given its elongated, pointed shape, and is surrounded by numerous smaller, round brilliant cut accent diamonds set along its shoulders. The exact carat weight of the central stone and the accent diamonds cannot be precisely determined from the image, but they appear to be of a noticeable size. The wedding band also features a series of smaller diamonds, likely round brilliant cuts, set across its visible face, creating a continuous sparkling effect when paired with the engagement ring. The setting style for the smaller diamonds seems to be either pavé or channel-set, contributing to the overall brilliance of the piece. The craftsmanship, typical of the 1970s, suggests a blend of classic design elements with a focus on maximizing diamond sparkle. Visible condition issues are difficult to ascertain definitively from the image's resolution, but typical wear such as fine scratches on the metal and some dulling of the diamonds due to accumulated residue could be expected. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible. The overall aesthetic of the set emphasizes elegance and sparkle, characteristic of the era's popular jewelry styles.
