Antique Mid-19th Century Step Cut Emerald and Rose Cut Diamond Enamelled Cluster
Located in London, GB
This striking antique gold cluster ring dates to the mid-19th century.
The ring is crafted in 18K gold with black enamel. In the centre rests a vibrant 0.44ct step cut emerald in an open-backed rubover setting. The stone is a wonderful vivid green colour and sits majestically within a halo of rose cut diamonds.
The gaps in between the stones are accented with black enamel which contrasts the emerald beautifully. The open work shoulders form a lattice motif, which leads to a tapering, fluted shank.
UK size N, US size 6.5
The ring weighs 4.87 grams and is stamped with a later ‘750’ mark to indicate 18K gold.
The emerald is in great condition, it is securely set with no signs of surface damage - it display a great colour and clarity with natural inclusions. It measures 4mm in diameter. The rose cut diamonds measure 2mm across. The round bezel measures 13mm in diameter.
The ring sits fairly flat on the finger to allow for frequent wear, and the emerald is open-backed which makes it easy to clean! A truly gorgeous and highly unusual antique emerald cluster ring.

Antique and Vintage Enamel Jewelry and Watches
From vibrant to subtle, elegant to cheeky, vintage and antique enamel jewelry and watches encompass a wide range of colors and styles, and there are almost as many techniques for creating these distinctive pieces.
Enameling is one of the oldest forms of surface decoration, used to add color to jewelry without having to rely on gemstones. Evidence of enameling goes back to ancient Greece. Throughout history, far-flung cultures favored different techniques. For example, cloisonné enamel was popular during the Byzantine Empire, while artisans living in France and Germany in the Middle Ages preferred champlevé. And Art Nouveau jewelry designers favored plique à jour.
At its core, enamel is the fusion of powdered glass to metal, and artists like enameling because it allows them to add a painterly or illustrative quality to their work.
Cloisonné (“cell” in French) is a technique in the creation of enamel jewelry that sees the use of thin wires of fine silver or gold to outline a design, which is then filled with enamel. The piece is subsequently placed in a kiln where the enamel is melted. Cloisonné is distinct because the individual wires remain visible, forming an outline of the motif.
Champlevé (“level field” in French) enamel is almost the opposite of cloisonné. In this technique, depressions in the metal are made by etching, engraving or chiseling, and then layers of enamel are built up until they rise slightly above the surface of the metal. The enamel is then fired and polished.
Guilloché is a technique in which translucent enamel is applied to a piece of metal that has had designs cut into it using a lathe. After the firing, the patterns on the metal become visible. Guilloché was made famous by Peter Carl Fabergé, whose jewelry house used the technique on many of its objets d’art as well as jewelry.
