Georgian Rose Diamond Heart Ring
An exquisite Georgian solitaire ring built around a large, heart-shaped rose cut diamond. The stone's triangular crown facets glitter and flash beautifully, and it's set over bright silver foil to enhance its brightness (brilliance) as the light bounces back out. It's set in a silver cut-down 'pie-crust' mount that's grasped between elaborately scalloped 'prongs' (really they're more like proto-prongs), and the simple 18 carat gold band meets the head with little oak leaf embellishments. It dates from the turn of the 19th century (around 1790-1810) and remains in good, wearable condition.
Diamond as heart; diamond as flower. The sentiment is lovely.
Era: George III, circa 1800
Ring size: I 1/2 or 4.5 US. Resizeable for £55
Head: 9.3mm by 10.5mm
Stone: Rose Cut Diamond
Marks: None, tested as 18ct gold and silver
Condition & Care: Great antique condition with light wear consistent with age. The foil remains bright and the engraved detailing is still crisp. Care must be taken with closed back, foiled settings to ensure they don't get wet: take this ring off to wash hands, bathe, gardening/manual work etc. (but don't worry if it gets splashed, just pat it 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.
