This ring gives me A L L the feels. I am truly, madly, deeply obsessed. BUT, I care about you and want you to have nice things, so alas: here she is.

Eight big, fat, juicy old mine cut diamonds are snuggled up together in a perfect crown of a setting in this antique cluster. From a distance, the cluster gives the effect of a whopping diamond but once you get close and personal it's obvious that each individual stone is bursting with personality. These old cut diamonds are obviously and lovingly cut by hand, each following the old mine faceting pattern but with their own distinguishing quirks. Small of table and mighty deep, the stones capture the light differently from every direction and have proven a challenge in photography - please be sure to stop by instagram.com/st.eloi to find videos of this babe in action.

As is typical for old diamonds, these stones aren't flawless - they've been graded in-mount as I-J in colour and SI clarity overall - but this is an absolute dream ring for a lover of old jewelry with personality and sparkle. We would be thrilled if she found new life as an engagement ring, but know she'd be just as happy on any finger of any hand - just as long as she's out and about enjoying the world.
