This solitaire engagement ring features a GIA-certified 1.53 carat old mine cushion cut diamond in 14 karat yellow gold. The antique-style cushion cut creates a soft, romantic glow with its rounded corners and large facets. The center diamond shows J color, which appears nearly colorless when set in yellow gold, and VVS1 clarity means it's exceptionally clean with no visible inclusions. Set in a six-prong collet basket, the diamond sits securely while allowing maximum light to enter from all angles. The result is a warm, glowing stone that catches the eye without overwhelming the hand.
