Georgian 0.86ct Diamond and Enamel Cluster Ring

Jewellery from the Georgian era (1714-c. 1837) has rarely survived into current times, with the finest examples being highly coveted by collectors worldwide. For the nobility and wealthy élite, evening social occasions became increasingly popular, which were made all the more enjoyable through the introduction of brighter burning candles. The result was a truly fascinating period for jewellery design, with yellow gold, silver, diamonds and enamel work all combining to produce some truly exceptional pieces. This ring showcases a central pear shaped diamond (0.86ct) with an intricate rose cut that would have sparkled magically in candlelight. Set into silver, which was the only white metal used in jewellery at the time, it has been surrounded by a halo of smaller antique cushion cut stones. True Georgian craftsmanship can be seen in the rich yellow gold shank that has tapered expertly black enamelled sections with a contrasting crisp white scrollwork pattern. Falling distinctly into the category of mourning jewellery, this ring would have originally been created both as a reminder of a lost love and to focus on the importance of living life to the full. With the current popularity of all things Georgian, this highly collectible piece can continue its journey as a statement dress ring worn with a favourite little black dress.
