Another vintage-inspired engagement design is Gerard McCabe’s Trinity Rose Ring, romantically designed, the pattern that runs along the ring is inspired by the Australian flower Boronia Molloyae. This flower is similar to a rose, which represents love, making this design the perfect symbol of your admiration for your partner. Based on organic shapes, like the flowers themselves, the design connects around the ring, with side diamonds scattered alongside the filigree. A matched set of three round brilliant cut diamonds is set at the centre of the ring.

Not necessarily vintage in their entirety, Gerard McCabe’s collection of cushion-cut diamonds feature a traditional 19th century-style diamond. It’s the perfect choice if you're wanting the best of both worlds: a vintage-inspired diamond, with a modern design aesthetic. Cushion cut diamonds are either a square or rectangular shape with rounded corners - resembling a pillow. With more significant facets allowing for greater separation of white light into spectral colours - cushion cuts were conceived during the 19th century. Adapted and developed over the years, it’s a nod to tradition if you appreciate old-style, vintage rings.
Gerard McCabe has used cushion-cut diamonds in the Aura Collection, the Aura Collection features a central cushion-cut diamond surrounded by glistening gemstones to maximise the sparkle. Modern in its ring design, the cushion cut diamond is perfect for the vintage-lover in all of us.
