Exceptionally bright Old European Cut solitaire

This bright and beautiful Old European Cut simply needed to be moved from a rather dated yellow gold setting into a classic solitaire to show off its personality to the best advantage.  This diamond has amazing brightness, as well as the old world feel of a cut from the late 19^th century.  The diamond weighs 2.17 carats; like many diamonds mined in Southern Africa at that time, it has a fair amount of body color and is very pure and clean internally.  We grade it M-N in color and VVS2 in clarity.  It is set in a solitaire of 18K white gold with a platinum crown.
