There is a quiet confidence to this ring that only truly great Edwardian design achieves. At its center, a luminous old European cut diamond sits nestled within a classic buttercup setting, the gold petals rising gently around the stone like a protective bloom. The diamond has that unmistakable antique glow, all soft fire and depth rather than sharp flash, and the belcher-style mount gives the ring a sculptural presence that feels both romantic and enduring. It is elegant without being delicate, a jewel meant to be worn, lived in, and admired not for excess, but for balance and proportion.
Handcrafted in England in 1907, this ring is made of 18 karat gold and is fully hallmarked with “18,” the crown, the leopard’s head for London, and the date letter “m.” The ring is a size 6.25 and weighs 3.9 grams. The old European cut diamond weighs approximately 0.60 carats and measures about 5.2 x 5.1 x 3.4 millimeters. The face of the ring measures 8.9 millimeters north to south and 20 millimeters across. It rises 4.4 millimeters off the finger and tapers gracefully to 2.2 millimeters at the back of the band. The proportions are beautifully judged, substantial enough to feel reassuring on the hand, yet refined and comfortable for everyday wear.
This is the sort of antique diamond ring that never feels dated. The buttercup setting, the warmth of the gold, and the gentle brilliance of the old cut diamond come together in a way that feels timeless rather than nostalgic. Whether chosen as an engagement ring, a meaningful personal jewel, or simply because it is undeniably right, this Edwardian ring carries with it more than a century of quiet elegance, ready to continue its story with its next wearer.
