3 Carat Bright Flat Pear Diamond in Gold Bezel Setting
The Malbec 3.04 ring is an AB original design. The ring centers a GIA-certified 3.04-carat Antique-Style Pear Cut Diamond (newly cut to look antique) of I color, SI2 clarity. The stone is bezel set in an 18kt Yellow Gold setting with fine millegrain details lining the bezel. The ring is currently size 5.75 and can be resized!
Why We Love It
There's nothing we love more than a stone that outperforms its carat weight and serves major finger coverage. This three-carat pear spreads across the finger like a 6 carat diamond but remains flat and low to the finger for everyday wearability. With unique open faceting, this diamond casts a soft, shimmery play of light. She's chic in her refined bezel setting and ready to be yours.
The dimensions of the center stone are 14.64 x 10.32 x 2.71 mm.
Antique Style vs. True Antique
What is an Antique Style Diamond?
Essentially, it is a newer diamond cut to look "old". The important thing to know is that they are newer material and not 100+ years old like TRUE antique diamonds are!
If you are looking for a certain shape, color, or dimension—especially an elongated silhouette—an antique-style diamond can help accomplish that. These diamonds are cut with intention to evoke the character of antique stones. They offer more flexibility in proportions and shape while still capturing that beautiful old-world charm.
What is a True Antique Diamond?
Our heart lies with true antique diamonds. These diamonds were hand-cut over 100 years ago by master artisans, often by candlelight, using techniques and tools of the time. Each stone is completely unique, with its own character, proportions, and beautiful quirks that tell the story of when it was made.
If you are looking for a TRUE antique diamond (not antique style), we recommend being flexible in your criteria and being open to what might capture your heart. As we’ve been saying for 10+ years, true antique diamonds are RARE. We thank our lucky stars as we continue to come across beautiful antique stones 🫶🏼
