Set with five rose-cut diamonds, the stones are mounted in silver crimped collet settings, a style typical of the time. The triangular facets of the rose cuts were designed to glisten beautifully by candlelight—ideal for the intimate, low-lit settings of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost rings of this era feature closed-back settings with silver foil behind the stones to enhance their brilliance. This rare example, however, is open-backed and unfoiled, allowing natural light to pass through the diamonds and making them easier to clean—highly desirable for those wishing to wear antique jewellery on a daily basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe largest diamond measures approximately 4mm x 3mm, with the smallest around 3mm x 3mm. The ring is unmarked but tests as 18K gold, with a soft patina developed across the silver settings over two centuries of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUK ring size M½ (US 6.5).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Very good antique condition. All stones secure and the setting structurally sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rare, wearable example of Georgian craftsmanship—historically significant and unusually practical.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ravensbury Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48546923184436,"sku":"1017810036","price":2023.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6784\/5428\/files\/0G2A4069-2_1749392.jpg?v=1744375244","url":"https:\/\/ravensburyantiques.com\/it-ch\/products\/french-georgian-rose-cut-diamond-half-hoop-ring-early-19th-century","provider":"Ravensbury Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
