Georgian Cruciform Ring
Rare Georgian cruciform ring with four peruzzi cut diamonds arranged at the cardinal points around a central emerald. The ring dates from the latter half of the 18th century, circa 1780, and it has survived in great condition; the shoulders are wonderfully intricate with scrolled openwork that continues around the gallery. It's crafted in 15 carat gold with silver settings and bright, lively stones set over silver foil.
An archaic old cut, the Peruzzi or square modified brilliant is named after the Venetian lapidary Vincenzo Peruzzi, who is credited with creating this precursor to the modern brilliant cut in the late 17th century.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved and often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff or scrape is 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.
