The black enamel is broken up into sections that divide the band visually. The diamonds are held in square bead settings that are set on a diagonal, while the two end sections of the enamel have carved leaf elements. The diagonal placement of the settings brings a liveliness and geometry to the design, and the black enamel pops against the 18k gold.

The ring contains three natural antique Old Mine Cut diamonds with a TCW of 0.4 carat. The larger center diamond measures 3.5 mm; the two side diamonds measure 2.75 mm. The diamonds are SL1- SL2 in clarity, I-J in color.

The band is 1/4” thick at its widest point, 1/8” at its narrowest. It weighs 3.65 grams. Marked 18k and with the maker’s mark CG. The enamel is in impeccable condition.

Ring size 6.75, not resizable. See less
