ABOUT:
I typically go for older diamond pieces with old cut stones, but I loved this one for the colored diamonds. Diamonds with hues are always so interesting to me, so when I saw this gorgeous sparkly diamond band I thought it would be a fun one to bring to the shop.
This vintage piece contains 43 diamonds in total, which add up to about 1.9 carat total weight in diamonds. Of these, the ring contains 15 natural diamonds in slightly varying "Fancy Intense" hues of deep yellow to yellowish orange. These diamonds are rare and sought-after, making up less than 1% of the world's total diamond production.
The yellow diamonds are baguette cuts, channel set and slightly recessed down the center of the ring, with raised round brilliant white diamonds for additional sparkle and contrast, 14 on each side. 43 diamonds in total!
As is customary, the colored diamonds are set in white gold to provide contrast against the fancy yellow hues of the stones. It is sturdy and ready to wear. It is stamped 18k and 750 which is the numerical mark for 18k gold.
It is a fabulous one to layer, with really any color ringstack as the yellow diamonds look beautiful with yellow gold, or it can be worn with white gold, silver and platinum to provide the pop of color. It is quite eye catching to wear alone as well with the sparkly color. I enjoy mixing metals so I like to wear it with a yellow gold band. So fun! The baguette diamonds, being part of the step cut method of cutting, creates that hall of mirrors effect.
Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos, especially with the zoomed images that I am required to present for detail.
MEASUREMENTS:
The ring is about a size 6 1/2.
Each yellow diamond is about 3x2mm baguette cut, about .1 carat each totaling 1.5 carat in yellow diamonds. The round brilliants are about 1.5mm each totaling about .4 carat for a total carat weight of around 1.9 carat. I do not remove stones from their settings for exact measurements so this is an estimate.
The piece weighs 5.1 grams.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note the colors in various lighting conditions. More photos can be found on my website. It really lights up in the sun with the vibrant color and sparkle.
One yellow diamond has a tiny nick seen under magnification. For such richly colored hues, they have an exceptional clarity with no glaring inclusions.
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come.
But of course as it is preowned I always leave a disclaimer - Due to age, this is not a mint condition / brand new item. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
