A wonderful and characterful antique ring, created as a marriage of two historical elements brought together to form a unique and wearable piece.
The top of the ring dates to the Georgian era, designed as a delicate diamond sun cluster. At its centre sits a hand cut rose cut diamond, surrounded by a beautiful sunburst of silver tipped points. This style of setting was typical of the period, designed to maximise the sparkle of the stone by reflecting light across the radiating points.
The band is a later addition, dating to the 1920s, created in 9 carat gold with a pleasing graduated form that sits comfortably on the finger. Inside the band is a lovely hand engraved inscription reading “16th Jan 1927,” adding a touching personal history to the piece.
The combination of the Georgian diamond top with the 1920s engraved band gives the ring a layered story, reflecting how treasured jewellery was often adapted and preserved across generations.
A beautiful and historically rich ring, bringing together craftsmanship from two different eras and carrying with it nearly two centuries of jewellery history.
