This ring is crafted from high-karat gold (approx 22K) and set with seven table-cut diamonds. The diamonds exhibit a distinctive gunmetal grey hue, achieved through silver foiling beneath the stones, an early technique that enhances their reflective quality.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe openwork floral design is an early precursor to the giardinetti (little garden) rings that swept through Europe in the 18th century, yet this example retains a more symmetrical, almost architectural form. Each diamond is set within a chiseled foliate setting, secured by clean rub-over collets, all in gold, a typical feature of Iberian jewels. The band is adorned with a finely twisted design. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis ring is an excellent example of early Spanish nobility’s taste, where such intricate jewels were reserved for the wealthiest women of the time. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIt measures approximately 20mm in bezel diameter, with the central table-cut diamond measuring 2.5mm x 3.5mm.
