ABOUT THIS RING

Wow is the word! Although weighing in at a mere 6.48 carats, due to the remarkable cutting, the outline of this dynamic dazzler presents closer to a nine carat stone--the ring measures just shy of 1-inch long! Bearing a GIA Diamond Grading Report stating L, Faint Brown color - VS2 clarity (*type IIa) the unusual faint brown color tinge (versus the usual yellow) adds an enchanting effect. The ravishing--and rare--stone is also graded as IIa, indicating a high degree of purity, with no measurable nitrogen or boron elements. Although the stone is a modern brilliant-cut (closed culet), it perfectly fits the thoroughly refreshed, hand fabricated original Art Deco (1920-1930s) mounting, elegantly appointed with royal blue calibre sapphires, hand piercing, hand engraving (all around the ring shank), and delicate millegrain detailing. Total sapphire weight, 1.00 carat. A truly sensational, stunning and impressive showstopper. In platinum, currently ring size 8.

*Wikipedia says: Type IIa diamonds make up 1–2% of all natural diamonds (1.8% of gem diamonds). These diamonds are almost or entirely devoid of impurities, and consequently are usually colourless and have the highest thermal conductivity. They are very transparent in ultraviolet, down to 230 nm. Occasionally, while Type IIa diamonds are being extruded towards the surface of the Earth, the pressure and tension can cause structural anomalies arising through plastic deformation during the growth of the tetrahedral crystal structure, leading to imperfections. These imperfections can confer a yellow, brown, orange, pink, red, or purple colour to the gem.

How to Pair Your Wedding Band

You found your ideal, beautiful, one-of-a-kind antique or vintage engagement ring… and then realized that you need a wedding band to go with it. Pairing the two can be tricky, since vintage engagement rings rarely come with matching bands, and many modern bands don’t accommodate vintage shapes and designs. So we created a line of vintage-style wedding bands, modeled after original pieces from our collection.

About Art Deco Jewelry

Sleek and modern, Art Deco design brought jewelry into the machine age. Yet these stylish pieces still found room for the fine forms and lines of previous eras within their elegant architecture. In particular, we see many peaceful co-habitations of Edwardian and Art Deco styles together.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
