This striking design features the romantic allure of a rare cushion shape old mine cut diamond to the centre (1.25ct) with a radiating inner cluster of twenty four sugarloaf cabochon cut rubies, set within a yellow gold millegrain setting, contrasting perfectly with an outer cluster of twenty four round old cut diamonds (0.75ct) all in platinum millegrain settings. The diamond set shoulders and delicately pierced gallery, featuring a scrolling heart motif, complete this exquisite design. The sugarloaf cabochon is the rarest and most desirable of the cabochon cut, with a conical shape that comes to a rounded point at the top, like a mountain. This charming cut was popular in the Art Deco period, with the new fashion for exotic jewellery. Finger size N.
