Round Brilliant Heirloom Engagement Ring

Heirloom engagement rings embody family history and tradition being passed down from generation to generation. Couples who have heirloom rings become a part of a history that precedes them, embodying the hope that their ring will one day be passed on to their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
Today we feature two heirloom engagement rings that were in fact passed down through generations landing on the hands of two very lucky identical twin sisters. These two brides were married months apart from each other in 2004 and both were skeptical when their mother first told them about the old family rings she wanted them to have for their engagements. Thinking they were antiquated and outdated, both girls were pleasantly surprised when they first laid their eyes on these two absolutely beautiful, knockout diamonds - their own little pieces of family history.
This is a ring you definitely cannot stop staring at when you see it up close. The stunning diamond stands alone on the platinum band. It is elegant, timeless and its value is unparalleled, simply because of its significance to the bride's family.
Cut: Round Brilliant
Carats: 4.05
Setting: Four Prong Set in Platinum Solitaire Mounting
Jeweler: Kern's of Burlingame (setting only, diamond is family heirloom) - http://kernjewelers.com/
About the engagement ring: "This is my paternal great-grandmother's ring which she received in the 1930's. It was passed on to my father when she passed, and he had it reset in the current setting before giving it to my husband the day he asked for his blessing in marrying me."
