Foil Backed Georgian Diamond Ring with Seven Rose Cuts, Circa 1830

With its rose cut diamonds set on foil, this Georgian diamond ring from circa 1830 has the darkened, intimate glow so characteristic of early 19th century jewellery. The warm yellow gold shank meets a silver detailed head of seven natural diamonds, arranged with quiet symmetry and old-world charm. Most likely Belgian, it remains a tender survival from the Georgian period.
