Why We Love It

Something quite remarkable about this ring is that it is crafted from palladium. This material was commonly used in jewelry during World War II because platinum was needed for the US military and was therefore not accessible to jewelers. During this time, due to the difficulty in importing materials, many families reused diamonds from their own heirlooms to create new pieces, which is why this ring, like so many other engagement rings from the early 1940s, feature old cut diamonds even though the modern round brilliant had been developed. With such a fascinating history, it's no wonder why this ring holds a special place in our hearts.
