Art Deco 18ct/Plat Cape Yellow Diamond 5.90ct and Sapphire Ring

If you love yellow diamonds then you are not alone. From Marie Antoinette in the decorative 18^th Century, Marilyn Monroe during the golden Hollywood years to singer Kelly Clarkson in the 21^st century, the popularity of adorning jewellery featuring yellow diamonds remains extremely popular till the present day. Its allure and rarity contribute towards its distinguished reputation as one of the most sought after coloured diamonds, particularly yellow diamonds of excellent quality and brilliance. It is not surprising that yellow diamonds were once so rare that they were reserved only for the very wealthy, royalty and maharajahs.

Although yellow diamonds are now widely available, nothing beats a yellow diamond of significance. This Early Modern Round Brilliant Cut Cape Diamond dates back to the 1920s and was discovered in the Cape Province, South Africa. 

The term ‘Cape’ was coined in 1870 and denotes the paler yellow hue primarily found in the region. This pale – light yellow diamond weighs 5.90ct with a high clarity grading of VS1. The stunning diamond is set in 4 claw platinum bar setting on a 18ct white gold band. The dainty band allows the diamond to ‘float’ on the finger, allowing the diamond to stand out dramatically.

 

To complement the Cape Diamond it is accompanied by three square cut dark blue sapphire gemstones in a step arrangement on the shoulders, surrounded by mill-grain setting for a subtle vintage appearance to an otherwise modern Art Deco ring.
