This is a one-of-a-kind gypsy ring crafted around its three genuine antique old mine cut diamonds that total 0.91 carats. The stones are flush-set in rich 22K yellow gold with our signature soft-hammered matte finish. The ring’s value is palatable visually and by feel–thanks to its bold design and high karat composition that offer a notable weightiness.
The ring is optimized for everyday wearing comfort by a tapered band, the way we round the inner edges of the ring, and its high polished interior. Gypsy rings are known and loved for their smooth fit, the security they offer the precious stones they hold, and their snag-proof and low-profile nature–this ring has no exceptions to these characteristics.
This ring perfectly makes for a unique gypsy engagement ring, or just a meaningful piece to honor any other personal life occasion, celebration or feeling.

This one-of-a-kind gypsy engagement ring is unique in many ways – from the genuine antique 0.75 carat old mine cut diamond to the locally-mined 20K California Gold that wraps around it, with our signature soft-hammered matte finish.
We positioned the old mine cut in a diamond orientation, rather than as a traditional square, to allow for a more exaggerated swooping design. And we rounded the edges at its points for a soft, romantic look and the smooth feel that is characteristic of gypsy settings. Gypsy rings including this solitaire variation are known and loved for the security they offer the precious stones they hold, as well as their snag-proof and low-profile nature.
This ring not only looks beautiful, but feels great thanks to its solid design and band that tapers from narrow to just slightly wider for a unique look and balance. This combined with the ring’s high karat composition, gives it real weight that makes it feel as valuable and meaningful as it is.
This ring is very comfortable for everyday wear and stacks flush with a swooping band to match, or eclectically with a straight band.

Practical Benefits of a Gypsy Setting
Gypsy settings are not only a unique and beautiful stylistic choice, but a practical one too. The stone is set directly into the metal, often sitting partially recessed for added security while still allowing the gem’s shape to show. This protective design minimizes catching and wear over time, making it ideal for everyday use. With no delicate prongs to bend or break, gypsy-set rings are known for their strength, longevity, and timeless appeal.
What Is a Gypsy Ring?
The gypsy ring originated in the late 19th century and is known for its bold simplicity. A gemstone, often a diamond, is set flush within a solid metal band that tapers in a curved manner, creating a sleek and enduring look. This design is prized for its durability, low-profile design, comfort and understated elegance — a ring meant to be worn every day.
At Bracken Jewelers, we interpret this Victorian Era style, bringing traditional components of the design into contemporary variations that highlight the unique character of the stone we are crafting the ring around. We play with open, split-shank settings and exaggerated tapering and different tones of gold including yellow gold in various karats, rose gold and white gold.
Also described as tapered bezel settings, signet stone rings and low profile rings. Perfect for those searching for a unique gemstone ring, tapered ring, nontraditional diamond ring, or practical diamond ring.
One-of-a-Kind, Handcrafted Rings
Each ring in our gypsy ring collection is individually crafted and available as a one-of-a-kind piece. We offer these rings in a range of widths and metals — including platinum, rose gold, 14K and 18K yellow gold and our signature 20K California Gold, mined in Northern California. Our diamond versions feature antique old mine cut diamonds, old European cut diamonds, cushion cut diamonds and round brilliant cut diamonds — each specifically selected for their quality and brilliance. Others are set with gemstones such as sapphires, emeralds and rubies. No two are alike, giving each piece a singular beauty and presence.
Our gypsy rings are set apart by their comfortable design, masterfully achieved by our understanding of fit and practiced handcrafted process, as well as their unique matte, soft-hammered finish that we apply by proprietary process.
