Original Art Deco platinum engagement ring with cushion cut diamond and sapphires

Art Deco diamond ring (circa 1920) starring in its center a 0.75 carat Old European cushion cut diamond, bezel set in a geometric setting highlighted by four calibre triangle cut sapphires and 12 sparkling diamonds (four old mine cut and eight single cut) bordered by calibre carre cut sapphires.

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.
