Antique French 18K Gold Rose Cut Diamond Ring
This exquisite 18K gold ring, dating from the late Georgian to early Victorian era, showcases the timeless elegance of antique craftsmanship. At its heart lies an important rose-cut diamond of approximately 0.85ct, admired for its soft, romantic sparkle and distinctive rose-bud shape. Surrounding the central gem is a delicate halo of 18 smaller rose-cut diamonds, together weighing 0.54ct, each bezel-set in a traditional closed-back mount.
The centerpiece is set against a panel of rich black enamel, creating a bold and stylish contrast that highlights the beauty of the central diamond and accent stones. The overall design embodies both refinement and drama, making it a truly captivating jewel.
A Brief History of the Rose Cut Diamond
The rose cut, first developed in the 16th century, remained beloved through the Georgian and Victorian eras for its gentle, candlelit glow. With a flat base and domed crown of triangular facets, it was designed to shimmer softly in low light—long before the advent of electric illumination. Its enduring charm continues to captivate antique diamond enthusiasts today.
