A characterful antique rose-cut diamond cluster ring, made in Germany around 1900.The large circular head is pavé-set with 18 rose-cut diamonds, arranged across a gently domed silver surface. The irregular hand-cut facets give the ring a wonderfully lively appearance, almost resembling a miniature diamond-studded disco ball.Silver was traditionally favoured for diamond settings because its white surface complemented the stones, while the remainder of the ring is constructed in gold. Unlike earlier Georgian era closed-back diamond jewellery, the stones here are open-backed, allowing them to be easily cleaned and giving the diamonds a brighter appearance in modern light.The ring bears a 333 fineness mark, traditionally denoting 8K gold, although testing of the ring actually indicates a higher gold content of approximately 14K.Despite the substantial 15mm head, the ring has a simple profile and looks particularly striking on the finger.Details:UK size R / US size 8.75Weight: 3.3gHead: 15mm diameterRose-cut diamonds: approx. 3mm eachVery good antique condition; easily resizable
