Regular price $0.00Yellow Gold Oval Halo Engagement Ring
The Amara ring is a yellow gold oval halo engagement ring from the Edwardian Era, circa 1910! This incredible ring centers a GIA-Certified 1.98 carat rose cut diamond of I color, VS2 clarity. The diamond is set in 4 delicate 18kt yellow gold prongs. The center diamond is surrounded by a halo of 18 old European cut diamonds that are bezel set in platinum with millegrain detailing, and the shoulders feature a feminine split shank. The ring is size 8 and can be resized!
Why We Love It
This oval halo engagement ring is incredible! A two-tone halo with such lovely old European cut stones and a rose cut centering it. The central diamond has gorgeous faceting for that lovely subtle scintillation that rose cuts give off! The halo of old European cut diamonds adds extra sparkle and creates a lovely, elongated look that is both finger-flattering and incredibly elegant!
The bezel platinum settings throughout the halo combine two of the most secure setting methods to protect each of those gorgeous hand-cut old European diamonds, while the yellow gold is classic and distinct with that lovely split shank! The two-tone metal brings out the unique colors of the rose cut to create a look that’s warm and bright!
Reasons To Love A Rose Cut
Truly a vintage style, rose cut diamonds have been popular since around the 1500s. Their one-of-a-kind style and craftsmanship have solidified this design as a classic favorite. Out of Amara’s 19 diamonds, the rose cut is in the center for a reason! There are many benefits of a rose cut diamond when it comes to finding the perfect engagement ring. Here are just a few things to fall in love with:
- Larger surface area with a lower profile: Rather than coming to a point, rose cut diamonds are flat on the bottom, creating a greater surface area with less height. This makes them perfect for comfortable, everyday wear.
- Distinctly soft, organic look: Diamonds are famous the hardest material in the world. We value them for their sharp lines and knife-like faceting. Yet the rose cut offers a softer look, sometimes smoky or cloudlike, but always heavenly—especially in a halo setting like this!
- One-Of-A-Kind Sparkle! Rose cuts are somewhat like opals in that they can vary widely in appearance and color. While other diamond cuts rely on consistency, rose cuts are valued for their distinct characteristics!
Q: Can we see the rings in person?
A. Yes! We are available by appointment in NYC! Feel free to Contact Us or call us to set up an appointment! Read all about appointments here!
Q: Can my ring be resized?
A. Yes! We offer one complimentary resizing and MOST rings can be resized. Each additional resize is $80. Contact us to see if a certain ring can be sized to your preference! Keep in mind that resizing can take up to a 1 week.
Q: Do you do custom work?
A. Yes! We do indeed do custom work when we source the center stone and we work exclusively with antique diamonds! We are not currently creating settings for stones that we do not source. The custom process starts at $10,000.
Q: What about diamond certification?
A. We wrote a whole page on your questions on diamond certification here!
Q: What is your return policy?
A. We are on a mission to pair people with their Dream Ring! If you are not happy with your purchase, we accept returns within 5 days of receiving the ring. Contact us and we will send you a return label to ship it back. Once we receive the ring in its original condition then we will issue a full refund. It may take a few days for the funds to show up in your account depending on your bank. Made-to-order rings are final sale.
Q: What types of payments do you accept?
A. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, certified check, bank transfer, and Affirm. Important note if you are using a credit/debit card: Most banks impose a spending limit so you may have to contact them to have that changed for a purchase or to let them know that you are making a large purchase. We are also able to split payments over multiple cards! For this option, you can contact us and we can walk you through it!
Q: Will an "out of stock" item be restocked?
A: Unfortunately not! These are all one of a kind vintage and antique engagement rings so there is no other ring quite like it! Sometimes we can recreate a sold piece so Contact Us if there is a style that you can't get off your mind. For some of the vintage-inspired pieces, we can often recreate the ring with another antique diamond.
Q: Will you sell the setting without the center stone?
A: Unfortunately not! We do not sell only settings and we try to preserve the vintage integrity so we do not separate the diamonds from the setting.
Q: What shipping do you offer?
A. We offer FREE overnight shipping Monday through Friday in the continental US. The package will come in a UPS or FedEx box and will not have our name on it in case it is a surprise! An adult signature is required upon delivery. The billing address on your order must match the shipping address. International shipments have a flat fee of $100 USD. Contact us for more information on international shipments.
Q: Do you offer payments plans?
A. We do offer layaway plans! Engagement rings can be a large purchase and we want you to be able to get the one that you want before someone else snatches up that one-of-a-kind piece! We offer up to 60-day installment plans and are happy to split payments over multiple cards if needed. Since layaway rings are taken off the market for extended periods of time, they are exchangeable but not returnable. Payments are non-returnable for payment plans. Contact us at info@victorbarbone.com to set up a plan that works for you!
Q: What countries do you ship to?
A. We ship to the United States, Canada, the UK, most European countries, Australia, as well as many other countries. Feel free to contact us to see if we ship to your country! There are often duties and taxes associated with importing jewelry so you can contact your country's customs agency for help in calculating that cost! Shipping on international shipments is a flat $100 USD fully insured.
