All diamonds are set in closed, silver settings, as was traditionally done to enhance their colour and brilliance. The back of the setting has been decorated with a ray pattern, typical of the era. The shoulders are decorated with scrollwork. After the shoulders, the shank has been replaced, likely because the original shank was worn with age. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe table-cut diamond, considered the first true diamond cut, was developed in the 15th Century, emerging from the earlier point-cut.\u003cspan data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e It was designed by polishing down the top and bottom of a natural octahedral diamond crystal to create a flat, square table.\u003cspan data-complete=\"true\" data-wiz-uids=\"tfHrub_i\" class=\"uJ19be notranslate\"\u003e\u003cspan data-wiz-attrbind=\"class=tfHrub_h\/TKHnVd\" data-animation-atomic=\"\" class=\"vKEkVd\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGENERAL INFORMATION \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize: US 4.5, UK I 1\/2, Circumference 48 mm. \u003cbr\u003eThe front setting measures 15 x 7 mm.\u003cbr\u003eThis ring could be sized if desired. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 2.40 grams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAge: 18th Century, also known as the Georgian era, circa 1750s: the shank has been replaced in the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Acid tested as 18k gold and silver. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: In good antique condition with only minor wear, consistent with age.
