Sparkly platinum double row princess cut diamond cluster ring, with sixteen princess cut diamonds channel-set in three clusters of four, giving the impression of a large trilogy ring. Princess cut diamonds suit a channel setting particularly well, with the straight edges of the stones sitting flush against one another , creating an unbroken surface of white brilliance across the full width of the ring.
At approximately 1 carat in total the stones are a good size individually, and the combination of cut and setting gives this ring a sharp, geometric quality that feels both contemporary and timeless.

A little history of the princess cut
The princess cut is a square shaped diamond known for its sharp corners and brilliant sparkle. The modern princess cut was developed in the 1960s and 1970s, with much of its development credited to cutters working to create a square cut that kept as much brilliance and weight from the rough diamond as possible. It went on to become one of the most popular diamond shapes for engagement rings, second only to the round brilliant, valued for its clean geometric lines and its balance of sparkle and modern style.

Very pretty 18ct white gold diamond half eternity ring set with a row of round brilliant cut diamonds across the front of the band, totalling approximately 0.36ct. The diamonds are claw set in a continuous line, with a plain band to the reverse. It suits use as a wedding ring, an anniversary ring, or worn alongside an engagement ring.
What is an eternity ring for?
An eternity ring is a band set with a continuous line of matching stones, usually diamonds, given as a symbol of lasting love and commitment. It is traditionally given to mark a significant moment, such as a wedding, a milestone anniversary, or the birth of a child, with the unbroken line of stones representing everlasting love. Eternity rings are worn as wedding bands, as anniversary rings, or stacked alongside an engagement ring.
What is the difference between a full and half eternity ring?
A full eternity ring is set with stones all the way around the band, while a half eternity ring, like this one, is set with stones across the front half only. A half eternity is often chosen for its comfort and practicality, as the plain section to the underside sits comfortably against the finger and allows the ring to be resized more easily.

A beautiful diamond solitaire engagement ring in 18ct gold, set with a central brilliant cut diamond of approximately 1.38ct and further diamonds to the sides, giving a total diamond weight of approximately 1.6ct. The diamonds are assessed as H colour and I1 clarity. The central brilliant cut diamond is held in a four claw setting and flanked by small diamond accents to each side, with diamond set shoulders sweeping along a crossover style band, bringing the total diamond weight to approximately 1.6 carats. The stones are assessed as H colour and I1 clarity. H colour sits within the near colourless range on the GIA scale, which means the central diamond faces up white to the eye. I1 clarity means the diamond contains some natural inclusions, which is characteristic of a stone of this size and gives it its own individual character.
What does H colour mean on a diamond?
H is a near colourless grade on the standard D to Z diamond colour scale. A diamond graded H appears white when viewed and set, with no colour visible to the eye in normal wear, which makes it a popular choice for a solitaire where the central stone is on show.
What does I1 clarity mean?
I1 is a clarity grade indicating that the diamond contains natural inclusions. In a diamond of this size, these are part of the character of the stone. Each I1 diamond is individual, and the grade is one of the reasons an older or larger natural diamond can be enjoyed at a more accessible price than a flawless equivalent.
Is this ring suitable as an engagement ring?
Yes. A single central diamond of this size in a raised setting, with diamond set shoulders, is a classic solitaire engagement ring style. It can also be worn as a solitaire dress ring.

Very sparkly platinum diamond half-eternity ring set with round brilliant-cut diamonds claw-set across the front of the band. The total diamond weight is 0.50ct, stamped on the ring.

This ring is comfortable for everyday wear either alone or stacked alongside other bands.

The central marquise weighs 0.51ct, with the halo and shoulder stones bringing the total diamond weight to 0.77ct, stamped on the ring.
The marquise is a cut with a long history with its elongated pointed shape which maximises the appearance of size for a given carat weight. The pavé halo traces the shape of the stone precisely, the pointed tips of the halo echoing the tips of the marquise and giving the overall outline a clean and elegant finish. The shoulder diamonds continue the sparkle along the band on each side.

The square collet is a wonderful detail — rather than the more typical rounded claw setting, the four claws sit at the corners of a neat square frame, giving the ring a slightly more geometric and art deco feel.

FAQs Vintage Diamond Rings
What is the difference between antique and vintage diamond rings?
1
Antique rings are generally over 100 years old, while vintage rings are typically 20 - 100 years old. Both categories include individual designs and hand crafted pieces that you can no longer purchase on the high street. Many have designs that re typical of their specific period.
Are old cut diamonds different to the more modern round brilliant cut?
2
Old cut diamonds — including rose cuts, old mine cuts, and old European cuts — were shaped by hand before modern machinery existed, giving them a softer, warmer glow rather than the sharp, dazzling brilliance of a modern round brilliant. They tend to have larger facets, a higher crown, a smaller table, and a larger culet (the flat point at the base), which creates a distinctive, almost candlelit quality of light. Many people find this far more romantic and characterful. More recent pre-owned diamond rings feature the round brilliant and its variations — princess, cushion, and oval cuts — which are engineered for maximum light return and a very different kind of sparkle. We stock diamonds across all these cuts, so whether you're drawn to the romance of an old cut or the brilliance of a modern one, we can help you find the right ring.
Are pre-owned and antique diamond rings good for engagement rings?
3
Whether it's a century-old Edwardian solitaire or a pre-owned ring from the last decade, buying a previously owned diamond ring means getting exceptional quality and value while avoiding the significant depreciation of buying new. Each piece has its own character, and you're far more likely to find something truly individual — whether that's a hand-engraved antique setting or a well-made modern design that's no longer in production. Most rings can be resized to fit perfectly, and we offer complimentary resizing on rings over £1,000.
What diamond cuts are most common across our collection?
4
Our collection spans over a century of diamond jewellery, so you'll find the full range of cuts. Older pieces feature rose cuts (Georgian and early Victorian), old mine cuts (Victorian through Edwardian), and old European cuts (popular from the 1890s through the Art Deco period). Mid-century and more recent pre-owned pieces feature the modern round brilliant and its variations — princess, oval, cushion, and marquise cuts. Each cut has its own personality, and part of the pleasure of shopping with us is finding the one that feels right for you.
What settings are typical across antique and pre-owned diamond rings?
5
Settings vary beautifully across eras. Victorian rings often feature intricate milgrain or engraved gold settings. Edwardian pieces are frequently set in platinum with fine filigree work. Art Deco rings are geometric and architectural. Mid-century pieces tend toward clean, elegant prong settings. More recent pre-owned rings reflect the design trends of their decade — from the bold yellow gold of the 1980s to the sleek, minimalist white metal settings of the 2000s. Whatever era appeals to you, we're happy to help you navigate the options.
Are pre-owned & vintage diamond rings more affordable than buying new?
6
Pre-owned and antique diamond rings sidestep the immediate depreciation of buying new retail, and older cuts such as old mine and old European are not currently subject to the same premium as modern round brilliants. That said, prices vary considerably depending on era, quality, provenance, and condition. We stock pieces at a wide range of price points and are always happy to help you find something that suits both your taste and your budget.

Stylish 18ct white gold diamond band ring, set with square panels of small pavé diamonds spaced at intervals around a plain polished band. The diamonds total approximately 0.24ct. The spacing of the diamond panels against the wide band gives it a clean, modern look.
What does pavé set mean?
Pavé is a setting style where a number of small diamonds are set closely together, held by tiny beads or prongs of metal, so that the surface appears to be paved with diamonds. It is used to add sparkle across a band or panel, as seen in the diamond squares on this ring.
