Estate one stone diamond engagement ring platinum

If anything, this platinum Estate ring from 1950 can emphasise your rays of passion and affection through its 1.56 carat of pure diamond in an old European cut and set in a proper crown. It's the rail setting of the eight baguette cut diamonds in the ring's shoulder that enables the light to make these gems smoulder like cinders. It's unimaginable anyone would need more warmth than is exhumed by this jewel.

Extra information: Betrothal rings were used during Roman times, but weren't generally revived in the Western world until the 13th century. The first well-documented use of a diamond ring to signify engagement was by the Archduke Maximilian of Austria in imperial court of Vienna in 1477, upon his betrothal to Mary of Burgundy.

Before the 20th century, other types of betrothal gifts were common. Before the end of the 19th century, the bride-to-be frequently received a sewing thimble rather than a engagement ring. This practice was particularly common among religious groups that shunned jewelry. Engagement rings didn't become standard in the West until the end of the 19th century, and diamond rings didn't become common until the 1930s. Now, 80% of the women are offered a diamond ring to signify engagement. (from: Wikipedia)
