Art Deco Solid 14k Yellow Gold .40ct Natural VS Old Euro Cut Diamond Rub Over Gypsy Ring (8.5)

The most sought after style classic ring whether a serious jewelry collector or those just getting into the game. Known as a “rub over” for the old world era technique used to set the stone. A jeweler uses a burnishing tool to push a thin rim of the surrounding metal over the edges of the gemstone, holding it tightly in place. This is one of the most secure settings for a gemstone because the metal protects the edges from chips and snags. It is also very comfortable for everyday wear because there are no sharp edges. This piece was hand crafted sometime around the 1930’s out of a solid and buttery 14k yellow gold. Precisely set with an old euro cut natural diamond of approximately .40ct of VS clarity and excellent color with a small open culet (shown in picture #10) this is the perfect diamond for this ring. A size:8.5 with a chunky rounded width of 10mm at its widest bulge this fully solid backed ring of 8.2g is insanely comfortable as it starts taper down slightly towards the bottom of the rounded donut style band.
