This 18k yellow gold crossover ring is centered by a cream-coloured baroque pearl, not tested but likely of natural origin, of 7 mm. A tiny drilled hole tells us that this pearl was re-used, and was originally part of a different jewel.
The pearl is flanked by two Old European-cut diamonds of circa 0.32 carats each. The shoulders of the ring are further set with 16 old mine-cut diamonds. The sides of the shoulders are engraved with a geometrical pattern, typical of the era.
All diamonds combined have an estimated weight of 0.88 carats, have a bright colour (H-I) and do not display any unsightly inclusions (VS).
