Gold and Palladium OMC Diamond Solitaire

A detailed yet simple 14k yellow gold and palladium diamond solitaire. The lovely bright and sparkly Old Mine Cut diamond is set in palladium while the body of the ring is 14k yellow gold. During the 1940's 2 tone jewelry was all the rage and prior to our involvement in WW2 platinum and white gold were the most common white precious metals used to achieve this look, but the alloys used in white gold were reserved for the war effort and Palladium was used in its place. When we find a 2 tone piece marked Palladium this dates it easily to the 1st 1/2 of the 1940's. The .20ct diamond dates to the 1800's, likely a family diamond set into a "modern" setting in the 1940's, the tradition of using an heirloom diamond is so lovely. This solitaire is very versatile, it will go nicely with both white and yellow gold jewelry.

Details.....Currently a size 6, one free sizing is included. The top at the diamond measures 4.6mm and band tapers from 2.3mm at the top to 1.7mm at the back. In Very Good vintage condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels, we consider it part of their charm.
