This dreamy true antique ring is crafted in solid 18k gold and set with an early old European cut diamond (G, VS) dating to around 1890. Inscribed 1895, it features exquisite late Victorian scrolling details that look straight out of a fantasy novel. Its romantic curves and warm golden glow give it unforgettable character.
Recently appraised for $6,235, it will come with the appraisal certificate. Whether chosen as an engagement ring or a statement piece, it offers rare antique charm, everyday comfort, and a rich sense of history.
Currently a size 11.25 and can be sized. DM us on Instagram (trisandrue) for sizing
Why we love it
What makes this ring even more extraordinary—beyond its rare early old European cut—is its remarkable G color, an uncommon trait for an antique diamond. Most stones from this era tend to be warmer, as countless originals were recut during the 1980s diamond-refining craze. In short, very few diamonds like this survived untouched, making this one a beautifully preserved treasure from another time.

Love my star charm! She’s the perfect addition to my stack!
I've missed out on a few drops in the past because I hesitated too long, but I finally snagged a little star. I picked up a beautiful yellow-green sapphire "fae fjord" shaped like a heart. Absolutely love the piece. It's solid, eye-catching, and just makes me happy. I'm looking forward to adding another in my collection. Please create some with garnets :)
Love love love. I have a few stars now and this one is even more amazing

I love my Little Star! The diamond has a soft, romantic glow, and the charm’s weight makes it feel truly substantial. The star points also make it the perfect little fidget — beautiful, playful, and grounding.
Absolutely lovely. The perfect star charm. Amazing communication and quick delivery.
Amazing! Worth every penny. Get on the wait list and adopt a star.
I hardly know where to begin with this piece; it truly takes my breath away. Beyond my personal sentiment, it is an heirloom-worthy treasure: exquisitely crafted, flawlessly executed, and designed with such elegant simplicity that it still makes a striking statement. The diamond itself is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, absolutely mesmerizing. Since receiving it, I’ve built every jewelry look around this pendant because I simply can’t bring myself to take it off.
Working with Tris made the entire experience even more meaningful. She was a dream to work with, patient, attentive, and always willing to go above and beyond to answer my questions. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and artistry, and I know I’ll be a lifelong client.
I love, love, love my OEC diamond star! The sparkly diamond and buttery 18k gold have elevated my go to neck stack. Could not be happier!
The little star is stunning. More beautiful at home than on instagram. And it was stunning on the gram. Mine has an opalescent sapphire and it is so beautiful and cool. And definitely an heirloom. I see myself passing this to my daughter one day. But until then it is all mine. Go get yourself on the waitlist and get a little star.
I received my star in the mail today and I gasped! It’s just sooo good.
Has a guaranteed spot on my neck. It’s just perfect. Thank you
I absolutely love my tiny star! I got to pick out the exact stone I wanted and she also gave amazing feedback on how it would look in the setting. Amazing customer service and super communicative. Easily my favorite piece of jewelry right now. Will be buying many more!
