A natural pink diamond ring of real rarity — an old cushion-cut diamond of genuine pink body colour, gypsy-set flush into the crown of a heavy domed 18KT gold band. Naturally coloured pink diamonds account for a vanishingly small fraction of world diamond production, and to find one in an untouched antique mount rather than a modern remount is rarer still.
The appeal here is the restraint. There is no halo, no shoulder stones, no distraction: just a warm salmon-pink stone set into a substantial band of hand-finished gold, the metal swept up around the girdle so the diamond sits protected and flush. It is the antique gypsy setting at its most confident, and it lets the colour do the talking.
A serious collector's stone in a wearable, everyday form, and a piece that would be effectively impossible to reproduce today.
