A wonderful vintage diamond solitaire by Brogan, crafted in 14K yellow gold and centered with an approximately 0.16 carat Old European cut diamond. The antique-cut diamond displays the broad facets and individual character associated with Old European cuts, giving the small stone a beautiful presence within the setting.
The diamond is held in a contrasting white-metal setting that rises above the warm yellow gold band. Split, gently tapered shoulders sweep toward the center, giving the ring an architectural quality while keeping the overall design wonderfully wearable.
The interior of the band is signed BROGAN and marked 14K. Brogan was an American jewelry maker, and signed examples of the company's diamond rings survive from the early and mid-20th century. The maker's signature adds another interesting piece to the history of this classic vintage solitaire.
With its old-cut diamond, two-tone construction and signed mounting, this is a lovely example of an early to mid-20th-century diamond ring that feels just as wearable today.
