Extra information: engagement ring - An engagement ring is a finger ring of no generally accepted form that is given by a man to his fiancée as a token of marriage engagement, in the manner of the earlier betrothal ring, and indistinguishable in form or style. In recent years such rings have normally been set with a gemstone, usually a diamond (or any stone other than the ill-reputed opal), as a solitaire, of varying sizes, cuts, styles, and cost, but in the 19th century some were set with a pearl. In the same century the custom arose in England of separate engagement ring and wedding ring, and in very recent years such rings have sometimes been made en suite as a matching pair of similar style.
Diamonds: One semi-modern brilliant cut diamond with a total estimated weight of approx. 1.04 crt. (color approx. J/K, clarity approx. si). The cut is semi-modern as the stone is polished around 1950 which means that although to today's standards it is considered to be a modern brilliant cut, its cullet (the point at the bottom) is still polished flat. and 36 semi-modern brilliant cut diamonds with a total estimated weight of approx. 0.50 crt.
