The ring's integral, half-round shank tapers toward the base. This is a real charmer, with its lovely geometry, andit would make a sweetalternative engagement ring.

Notes

Three of these diamonds are old mine cuts, and two are single cuts. It is likely that the two single cuts are original or else they are early(1920s - 1930s) replacements, since the prongs do not appear to have been re-tipped. You would never notice the difference in cuts,without magnification.
