ENGAGEMENT RINGS! What does yours look like?

[marbella8]

Hello my friend, not OP, but a collector of old cut stones. Yes, this is an Old European cut stone. Old European cuts are typically like the one in this photo; a small table, visible culet, more depth (so often appear smaller in face-up compared to MRB for the same carat weight, but also leads to unique and enjoyable light return compared to MRB). They have larger/different faceting compared to modern round brilliant cuts, so that they flash light like a “chunky” clearly-faceted cushion cut as compared to a “crushed ice/crushed glass” cushion cut.

Thanks my friend. This is so helpful. I would see women with rings with these stones and couldn’t figure out why theirs looked different but weren’t a cushion. I appreciate it lots

You’re welcome! I am terrible at taking photos to show detail, but even with the blurry lines you will be able to see the size difference. My engagement ring, to stay on topic, is a MRB 2.4 ct and the OEC with the OEC sapphires is just under 3 ct.

Thank you for doing this comparison for me. You’re the best and nicest!

I have two OEC rings to show it to you:

Normally I'd wear the ring with the 3 diamonds on the middle finger and the solitaire on the ring fingre, but I gained so much weight that I had to swithc fingers for the bigger ring and the smaller one needs to wait untill I dropped a huge amount of weigth

Edit: the 3 stones ring has 2 ct in the middle, 1 ct each on the sides, solitaire is around 1.5 ct but not sure about this, was a gift... looks totally small compared to other, newer cuts

Gorgeous solitaire, would you mind me asking the carat weight. It’s a show stopper
