An Art Deco design, a medieval diamond cut.

The coveted “French Cut” diamonds in this eternity band exhibit one of the earliest brilliant-cut faceting styles, one that dates back to the fourteenth century.

The French Cut was revived by Art Deco jewelers in need of gems with a square profile and lots of sparkle. Today, they are rare and coveted, a special addition to any jewel collection, something a thousand years in the making.

Art Deco platinum eternity band set with approx. 1.65 carats of French cut diamonds in channel settings. Made c. 1920s. Diamonds approx. F color and VS clarity. Size 7.25.
