An emerald and diamond 3 stone ring, the square emerald cut emerald between two kite shaped diamonds, all collet set, the stone bezels pavé set with rose cut diamonds, to a plain shank, size M, unhallmarked but stamped '18ct plat' two rose cut diamonds missingAlteration to the catalogue entry:The three principal stones - the emerald cut emerald and the two trilliant cut diamonds - are all claw set; they rest on a design feature of the gallery - a continuous millegrain edged band set with a line of rose cut diamond points (two lacking).The emerald is a bright, clear peacock green, and is (for an emerald) remarkably clean: the principal inclusions are a large but wispy veil that goes across the middle of the stone, and an internal fracture that catches the light at certain angles; there are minor nibbles and abrasions on some crown facet edges. The emerald measures 6.41 x 6.15 x 3.02mmThe trilliant cut diamonds make an excellent foil, and are lively stones; assessed (with difficulty due to the setting) as approximately I/J colour, and VS clarity. They measure approximately 5.4mm along the sides abutting the emerald, and 2.8mm from the centre of that line to the outer point.The line of little rose cut diamonds is there for the design accent not for the quality of the diamonds.The claws are all secure, the setting without undue wear, though the shank appears to have been resized - there is a blob of gold solder on the inside, and it is possible that the length with the stamp on is not original; and there are two more solder lines closer to the front, at least one of which has 14ct solder; however the shank tests for 18ct gold.The ring size is M - or in the US 6½, in Europe 53

Some of the newspapers have browning, short tears, damp-marks etc., whilst others are in good crisp condition. A small number of issues have 1 or 2 pages missing. This volume of newspapers is a mine of information on some of the major global and British historical events from the end of the reign of King George III through the reigns of George IV and William IV, and also gives an insight into some of the more day-to-day aspects of life during this period, through its many and varied business adverts detailing some wonderful products and services, as well as through its reports on various social events and activities. For example, the issues of August 21st and 28th in 1819 contain detailed reports on the Peterloo Massacre in Manchester which resulted in the deaths of 15 people and an estimated 400-700 injured. In the first few pages alone one can read reports of trials and executions, slavery, the Napoleonic war, comets, smallpox, and highway robbery!
