Antique: Gypsy Set Diamond Ring in 14K

This elegant gold band is the perfect backdrop for the sparkling white Old European Cut sitting at its center. 

These rings are called "Gypsy Rings," which refers to the way the diamond is flush set or gypsy set into the gold. The stone is dropped into a hole which is cut specifically to fit the dimensions of the stone and then pushed into place. The stone sits flush with the surface. It is held in place by the tension between the metal and the stone. This setting is currently popular because of its clean, minimalist look. It can be seen in both antique and modern jewelry.

This pretty sparkler would be lovely as a wedding band or a stacking ring. Stack it with other gold and gemstone bands.
