18th Century Table Cut Half-Hoop Ring
A rare Georgian half-hoop ring built around a very old table cut diamond. Flanked by triplets of rose cut diamonds, the centre stone likely pre-dates the ring by a century or two and it's rare to see one set in this type of ring. The diamonds are set over foil to enhance their brilliance, resting in gorgeous cut down 'pie-crust' mounts. The band is crafted in 15 carat gold, and it dates from the latter half of the 18th century, circa 1780.
Era: Georgian, circa 1780
Width at head: 6.1mm
Ring size: N or 6.75 US. Resizable for £35
Stone: Rose & Table Cut Diamonds
Marks: Hallmarks unclear, tested as 15ct gold
Condition & Care: Good antique condition. This is a 250 year old ring, and it shows normal signs of wear consistent with its age. Don't get it wet as water behind the stones will damage the foil. Take it off to wash hands, do dishes, and for gardening, bathing etc. Don't worry if it gets splashed, just wipe/pat dry asap

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
