Finished: Diamond Solitaire with an 0.61 CT Antique Diamond

Why you’ll love it

After last week's super popular white gold auction, we just knew that we had to give all of you yellow gold lovers the chance to bid on an antique-cut diamond ring. Are you looking for your dream engagement ring that is both charming and truly one-of-a-kind? This one's for you! 🤍

This ring is a beautiful solitaire with an antique diamond. 

What is an Antique Diamond?
💎 It is a natural, pre-loved diamond that was cut - by hand - before the 1940s
💎 Most of them have a history of being used in jewelry before
💎 Antique diamonds often have a warmer colour than “perfectly white” modern machine-cut diamonds
💎 Since it was cut before modern technology was developed to cut perfect angles, every antique diamond is unique. No two diamonds are alike!

Antique diamonds are coveted for their unique charm: since they were cut by hand and often have a warmer colour, they stand out with their soft, vintage glow. 

Our Production Manager Fanny writes: 

We have to talk about the CHARM of this ring! This amazing antique diamond has it all - the true antique feel, the warmer color and a beautiful clarity. And let's not forget about the size (a whopping 0.61 Carat!) and the cushion-like shape that elongates the finger!

The antique cushion-cut is called ”Old Mine Cut”. This cut gives the diamond a very special glow that just can't be found in the modern machine-cuts of today. Remember, the antique diamonds were cut by hand and faceted to sparkle under soft candle light. This makes the antique diamonds so special, and incredibly lovely! 

The band of this ring has a beautiful pattern of small, small gold dots, called ”milgrain”, that was common in the beginning of 20th Century. This adds a lovely vintage-touch to the ring design, to perfectly match the antique diamond. 

This ring has been a showpiece in our Stockholm showroom but is ready to find its new home!

The ring is in a brand-new condition, with no signs of wear in the gold.  

Retail value: SEK 49 990  / € 4364

Antique Diamonds

 Diamonds rank a 10 (highest) on Moh's Scale of Hardness. They are extremely hard and durable and will withstand daily wear for many years to come. 

All natural diamonds are billions of years old, but if they were cut before 1940, they’re called antique. 

Antique diamonds don’t have the perfect color, clarity or cut according to modern standards, and often come in odd carats. But you get an important 5th C - Charm! We love their warm tint and special glow. 

An antique diamond is an exceptionally sustainable and durable choice of gemstone. An antique diamond does not lead to any new environmental stresses in the mining process nor in the other parts of the production chain. This stands in contrast to the natural diamond — as well as the synthetic diamond industry.

The cut of the diamond is called the Old Mine Cut, a beautifully shaped cut that preceded the modern cushion cut!

Tip:

We suggest you wait no longer than 1 minute before the auction ends to place your bid. Many people have the same strategy, and someone else's bid could become the final and winning bid. 

A proxy can help you with this. Setting a proxy amount that is equal to your maximum bid ensures that even when you wait to make your last bid, someone else needs to bid HIGHER than your secret proxy to win – otherwise you will win automatically!

Good luck!
