From George T. Brodnax, Inc., the Memphis jeweler long considered the finest in the city, comes this late Art Deco diamond engagement ring from the 1930s. At its center sits a warm toned Old European Cut diamond weighing just over half a carat. Its broad, hand-cut facets give it the soft, candlelit sparkle that collectors love in antique diamonds, and its warm color looks lovely against the bright white platinum of its setting.

The square head is a design hallmark of the period: beaded double prongs at each corner hold the circular stone inside a crisp geometric frame. Stepped shoulders carry four graduated accent diamonds, set above a pierced, scalloped gallery that lets light in from the sides. The shoulders then taper into a slender shank. Inside the band, you’ll find the Brodnax stamp alongside “900 PLAT. 100 IRID.,” the platinum-iridium alloy favored by American jewelers of the era. It’s a classic piece of Southern jewelry history, ready for a new chapter.

Wearing it with care

Jewelry is meant to be worn, but it's also an expensive ornament. Here are a few suggestions to extend the life of your jewelry:

  • We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or another trusted jeweler every six months.
  • You should remove your rings before swimming or performing any household cleaning, as harsh chemicals can interact with precious metals and permanently damage some stones.
  • Generally, we suggest that you do not wear your jewelry to the gym, in the shower, at the pool, or while sleeping.

We do not sell what we cannot service. Should an issue arise, please get in touch. We offer an extensive range of repair services and are here to help!
