18ct Diamond Diamond Solitaire - Size N 1/2

18ct Gold & Platinum Diamond Solitaire Ring — Hallmarked 1962

A magnificent and captivating vintage diamond solitaire ring, fully hallmarked and dating to 1962 — a piece of genuine jewellery history that has lost none of its beauty or presence with the passing of time. The substantial round brilliant cut diamond is held aloft in a classic four-claw platinum mount, elevated beautifully above the shoulders to allow maximum light to flood through the stone from every angle, returning it in a dazzling cascade of fire and brilliance.

The platinum setting flows into an ornately detailed gold head, with elegant engraved and pierced scrollwork decorating each shoulder — a level of hand craftsmanship that is rarely seen in modern jewellery and speaks directly to the skill and care that went into making rings of this era. The warm 18ct yellow gold shank provides a beautiful contrast to the cool platinum mount above, a pairing that was the hallmark of the finest mid-century jewellers.

At 2.8g the ring sits comfortably and elegantly on the finger. Fully hallmarked with a 1962 date letter — a genuinely dateable, wearable piece of jewellery history.
