Art Deco 1.4 Carat Transitional Cut Diamond Bypass Ring

An Art Deco era engagement ring, fabricated in platinum by master jeweler Edward Petri, whose primary gem is a 1.4 carat transitional cut diamond (I/J, VS2). This fiery antique diamond is held in an open, four prong basket, where it is flanked by the diamond-set paisleys that are the ring's shoulders. These swooping forms appear to move toward one another, as if to pass above or below the ring's central diamond (thus, a bypass). Each is bead-set with two chunky, old European cut diamonds. The paisleys are gathered at the base, like a knotted sash, where they blend into the ring's slender, half-round shank. This is an exceptionally well-balanced design! We love the clean, elegant approach, here. Petri riffs on an iconic form— he makes this ring a little unusual, while keeping it classic. Marked "90% Plat," for purity, and with "Petri" for Edward Petri. Materials Platinum Diamond Age c. 1930 Size US  6 1/4 This ring can be resized (down to US 8 1/4 and up to US 4 1/4).
