Evolution of Diamond Ring Styles Through the Ages
The article traces how platinum settings enhanced diamond brilliance from claw and brilliant cuts in the 1890s to emerald-cut mounts of the 1920s and illusion rings of the 1930s. It notes Maximilian's ring as bold for its era but eclipsed by modern cuts and scientific facet work that unlock greater fire.
