Pretty vintage engagement ring crafted in two-tone white and yellow gold. This 1940s engagement ring is a beauty! Set in the centre is an old European cut diamond, framed by square shaped corner prong. To the top and bottom is a small pieced design. On either side is a leaf design, outlined in milgrain and set with a diamond in each leaf. The top of this ring is white gold. Diamonds are usually set in white metals as it makes them appear brighter. The rest of this ring is yellow gold, yellow gold being the metal of choice during the mid 20th century. Nothing else looks quite like gold and it's richness cannot be mistaken for another metal making it a popular choice.
