     The center diamond has been passed from generation to generation since 1842. Originally set in a pair of earrings and given to a bride after 40 years of marriage. Having two daughters, each daughter eventually received one diamond. They continued the tradition of passing the diamond to the next generation. The current owner of this diamond ring is the great great great granddaughter of the original recipient.

A European Cut Diamond is an old style of faceting a diamond in a round shape, hand worked, in a less than perfect fashion. This style enabled the diamonds 58 facets to show broader reflective bands of brilliance returning back up through the top portion of the diamond (the table facet). This characteristic gave the diamond more personality and timelessness than their modern cut counterparts of today. While being cut with less than exacting proportions, these diamonds have a beauty and magic of their own which give them a desirable, distinct beauty just as the bygone era in which they were fashioned and represent. This cutting style began to disappear around the turn of the century.
