There’s something so satisfying about an antique English band. This type, made from hefty 18k yellow gold with a star-set diamond set flush and smooth into the ring, is especially magical. This example is just lovely and simple, with a chunky .12 carat old European cut diamond set into a deeply carved eight painted star. Measures a substantial 7mm. Wide in front, gracefully tapering to 3mm. In back. 18k yellow gold Ca. 1880. Current finger size 8.5.
