Radiant Red Spinel Mid Century Style Platinum Ring

A richly colored emerald step-cut red spinel shines in this gorgeous Mid Century style platinum engagement ring. The vintage spinel has been prong set in a basket head atop a cathedral gallery. Two emerald step-cut diamond side stones flank the spinel, adding radiance with their glittering white color and sparkle. Elegantly pinched shoulders taper back into a wider band. Every element of this astonishing piece is vintage, estate or recycled; it will make a beautiful and unique engagement ring.
