This diamond mounted, two stone cross-over ring is mounted with old, brilliant-cut diamonds with each stone estimated to weigh approximately 3.5cts. Old, brilliant-cut stones of this size are very desirable, the facet arrangement and proportions having been perfected by both mathematical and empirical analysis. The cut of a stone greatly impacts a diamond's brilliance, and this particular cut gives a great luminosity.
