A rare surviving example from the Georgian era, this antique ring is set with old cut diamonds, mounted in a traditional gold and silver double layer (18ct gold shank with silver-topped settings).
These early stones were fashioned long before electric light, each stone is hand-cut in the distinctive style of its time to shimmer in the glow of candlelight. Their facets give a softer, deeper sparkle—romantic and distinctive, with natural inclusions that reveal their age and authenticity, typical of early diamonds from that time.
The diamonds are secured in silver settings, carefully crafted to highlight their antique character, while the 18ct gold band provides strength and warmth. This historic piece embodies the aesthetics of the Georgian period: understated, elegant, and full of timeworn beauty.
