French Mid Century Old European cut diamond 18k white gold chunky ring

This bold French Mid Century ring is a striking expression of 1960s luxury, defined by confident scale, rich diamond presence, and substantial white gold craftsmanship. Designed with a powerful, chunky silhouette, the ring immediately commands attention while maintaining refined elegance through its carefully balanced proportions.

At its center are two luminous Old European cut diamonds totaling approximately 1.25 carats. Their broad facets and softly rounded profiles produce a warm, romantic brilliance that feels rich with character and depth. Graded I–J in color with VS clarity, the diamonds glow with a classic, candlelit sparkle that is unmistakably timeless.

Surrounding the center stones are sixteen additional Old European cut diamonds totaling approximately 0.90 carats. These diamonds amplify the ring’s brilliance, creating a layered surface of light and texture that enhances its sculptural form. The consistent antique cutting throughout the design lends cohesion and historical charm, while the generous diamond weight reinforces the ring’s bold presence.

Crafted in substantial 18k white gold, the setting provides both strength and elegance, perfectly complementing the diamonds’ soft glow. Dating to the 1960s and bearing a purity mark, this ring reflects the era’s love of statement jewelry that was both luxurious and confidently styled.

Dramatic, refined, and unmistakably French in spirit, this Mid Century diamond ring is ideal for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate bold vintage design, antique diamond character, and enduring sophistication.
