Georgian Rose Diamond Heart Ring mid century with mottled flecks of blackStunning Georgian ring built around a large, heart shaped rose cut diamond set over foil in a hybrid prong pie crust mount. Such stones were designed to be worn at night, their myriad triangular facets coming alive under candle light (but the foil backed setting keeps it looking equally spectacular in daylight). Crafted in 18 carat gold and dating from the early 19th century, circa 1830. Era: Georgian, circa 1830 Ring size: H 1 2 or 4 US. Resizable
