A Georgian diamond cluster ring, the central cushion cut diamond in a border of rose cut diamonds, and a closed back and quatrefoil incised white metal setting, to yellow metal floral carved shoulders, plain shank, size J-N, principal diamond measures 8 x 7mm One rose cut diamond lacking. Finger size difficult to determine due to the underhang of the enclosed setting (approximately M). Assessing the principal diamond is difficult because of the closed back setting: it appears to be a shallow stone, and dirt may be seen behind it, but there are no eye-visible inclusions - with a loupe there is a surface-rising internal fracture beneath a girdle facet, some polishing lines on another; colour is hard to judge because of the dirt behind. Some of the border diamonds appear yellowish but that looks like remnants of glue behind them. The ring is in sound condition with wear appropriate to age. Gross weight 3.9g
A single stone old cut diamond ring, the plain shank swelling at the front and cast into a sunburst of raised rays, the tips of which form claws to hold the old cushion cut diamond, yellow metal stamped '18ct', size N; estimated weight of diamond approximately 0.50cts The ring is in good condition for its age with appropriate scuffs and wear but nothing material. The diamond is secure though several of the claws are at their extremity; the metal tests for 18ct gold. The setting makes assessment of the diamond extremely difficult: the colour is approximately J/K; there are some chips, nibbles or naturals around the girdle, and a small table nick, and loupe-visible abrasion, but internally the stone looks clean, probably VS.
