A timeless symbol of mid-century elegance, this 14K white gold engagement-style ring features a ~0.30ct round brilliant cut natural diamond in a square illusion head—an iconic design from the 1940s meant to amplify visual size and sparkle. Flanked by two petite accent diamonds on each side, set in delicate channel shoulders, the piece showcases the clean geometry and practical glamour typical of postwar American craftsmanship.
Stamped “14K” with a possible secondary maker’s mark (“IDF”), the ring reflects the materials and techniques used when platinum was scarce and white gold gained popularity. The modest yet meaningful setting offers excellent wearability and vintage charm, perfect as an heirloom, stacking ring, or alternative engagement piece.
