About the Item

Rare 18ct Tudor period silver set diamond cluster ring with 18k gold band artfully composed of a flower and set with rose diamonds and a closed "pillow" back. Each side of the band has lightly carved "arms" reaching out to grasp the ring face. The border is collet set, a feature of hand gold-work of this period. The diamonds were always set in silver to better reflect the cool tones of the diamonds. The diamonds are an early rose cut. There are a total of 8 diamonds circling a larger central diamond. In this ring as in all early diamond rings, diamonds were foil backed to reflect the light. It is best to avoid exposure to moisture while wearing this ring. The underside of the ring face is artfully carved with lovely rays that emerge from the center of the circle, or "hub of the wheel". This hand carved detail of the back of the ring is known as a "pillow back" and is as much a feature of this Georgian ring as the diamond ring face. The construction of this ring with a "bolt" at the center (seen from the back) securing the central diamond is especially secure, which helps explain how this ring has survived so many years in immaculate condition. Every aspect of this ring is a total work of art. The ring consists of has 1.2 carats of diamonds in total weight. The ring is resizeable. 4.6 g.

C1680 Stuart Period Paste Cluster Ring with Center Almandine Garnet
Located in Baltimore, MD
Unusual English Stuart period paste cluster ring with 8 rose cut pastes set in silver and backed in 18K with a gold bordered almandine garnet stone at center. Rings with paste stones in combination with real stones are unusual. The rose cut pastes on this ring are meticulously hand carved and the ring has significant hand gold work throughout. There is a painted black Florentine enamel design at the shoulders and the band is 18K. The goldsmith etched 3 flourishes into the gold band where the enamel painting ends on each side. The back of the ring is carved into a 6 leaved gold flower and raised about 3-4 mmm to give it depth. The ring back is as spectacular as the front. Such artistry could only be accomplished through the hand-work of an early goldsmith. The origin of paste is credited to 2 infamous Georges, the first being George Ravenscroft, an English glassmaker who in the 16th century invented a composition of leaded glass that resembled rock crystal. This composition of glass and lead and other mysterious ingredients were further developed and popularized by a Parisian jeweler, George Straus who is widely credited with popularizing paste jewelry...
