Sourcing Old European Cut Diamonds

Cavalier Girl · Jun 19, 2013

I have an old European brilliant cut diamond that I'd like to make into a three stone ring. My first choice was sapphires as side stones, but now I'm thinking diamonds. Does anyone know a good source for matching old European cuts?

My diamond is 2.32 carats, SI1, and K color with no fluoescence. Size wise, I think .65 each side stone???

Oh CG your stone sounds delish!
I had a 3 stone diamond necklace...2.5 center with 1 ct on each side. Wish I had a pic to show you.
Not an old european cut but you'd get the idea. Unfortunately, I never wore it so I sold it.
Loved the look and should look stunning as a ring.
Good luck finding the perfect stones!!!

Great idea, CDN!

Erica Grace is fab. They are lovely to work with. I've actually been stalking their website for a three stone OEC ring.

I also think Jewels by Erica Grace is a good suggestion , I bought a bracelet from them and the service was great and their custom settings are really nice!

Candice, that's what I'm hoping to find......someone who can supply the side diamonds and the setting.

I've only emailed. I spoke to Grace once on the phone to discuss adding half an inch to the tennis bracelet, they're usually pretty quick to respond to my emails :smile1:

I keep looking at their rose cut diamond bezel rings on the website :graucho:

LOL! I was just doing the same thing. :smile1:

I've always been attracted to rose cut diamonds.

Absolutely spectacular, CG...and I hardly ever use that term. A vintage look with a modern edge...love the prongs!

Can't hurt to look into it, CG :graucho:
