This Belle Epoque statement ring is centered by two round rose-cut diamonds, measuring 7.8 x 7.0 and 7.1 x 7.5 mm, and with an estimated weight of 0.80 and 0.75 carats. Originally, these diamonds were placed in closed settings. The back of these settings have been opened, making the diamonds more sparkly and also easier to clean.
The two central diamonds are encircled by a border of several round antique-cut diamonds, and the shoulders of the shank are also set with three round antique-cut diamonds. All diamonds are set in open settings, allowing light to pass through the stones.
