KUTCHINSKY 4.00 Carat Transitional Cut Diamond Engagement Ring, dated 1947

Top quality craftsmanship from one of the master jewellers of the twentieth century. Wonderful geometric basketwork and perfectly balanced stepped down baguettes either side of the solitaire holds echoes of the Art Deco period. The centre diamond is the quality you might expect of a Kutchinsky ring; exceptionally vibrant and totally loupe clean.

The ring was originally purchased in 1947 for £4000. According to the Bank of England Inflation Calculator, this is the equivalent of around £140,000 in today’s money.

Comes with a valuation from Kutchinsky for £65,000.
