Georgian Cobblestone Diamond Ring
Remarkable Georgian cobblestone cluster ring set with 42 glistening old mine cut diamonds arranged over five rows across the head. It has been meticulously designed and executed, with particular attention paid to form/proportion and the subtle details: simple engraved embellishment, the graceful curved profile band, cylindrical terminals to either side of the head, which curves to conform to the finger. It's crafted in 9 carat gold with silver settings and over a carat of diamonds in total.
English jewellery from this era, the early 19th century or late Georgian, shows a move away from the ornate, maximalist aesthetic of the rococo and baroque, and continues on a trajectory of 'refined ornamentation' - drawing from the 'rational' elements of neoclassicism (proportion, geometry, form) in an attempt to curb the excesses of the preceding Rococo and Baroque (basically following the lead of the new protestant Hanoverian monarchs as they tried to distance themselves both politically and culturally from the catholic Stuarts).

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.
