About this lot

Description

A Georgian diamond cluster ring, the central cushion cut diamond in a border of rose cut diamonds, and a closed back and quatrefoil incised white metal setting, to yellow metal floral carved shoulders, plain shank, size J-N, principal diamond measures 8 x 7mm

One rose cut diamond lacking. Finger size difficult to determine due to the underhang of the enclosed setting (approximately M). Assessing the principal diamond is difficult because of the closed back setting: it appears to be a shallow stone, and dirt may be seen behind it, but there are no eye-visible inclusions - with a loupe there is a surface-rising internal fracture beneath a girdle facet, some polishing lines on another; colour is hard to judge because of the dirt behind. Some of the border diamonds appear yellowish but that looks like remnants of glue behind them. The ring is in sound condition with wear appropriate to age. Gross weight 3.9g
