This early 19th Century half hoop rose-cut diamond ring is made from 18k yellow gold and set with seven cushion-cut diamonds, interspersed at the top and bottom by twelve small rose-cut diamonds, all in silver settings. Traditionally, diamonds were set in silver settings to optically enhance their colour and brilliance, while the backs and shanks were made in gold, to prevent the silver from tarnishing and staining your skin. The cushion-cut diamonds have been placed in open settings, allowing light to pass through the stones, while the rose-cut diamonds are set in closed settings. All diamonds combined have an estimated weight of 0.82 carats. 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Size: US 7.75 / UK P / Circumference 57 mm. 
The front setting measures 22 x 7 mm and stands 4 mm from the finger when worn.
This ring could be sized if desired. 

Weight: 2.74 grams.

Age: 19th Century, also known as the Georgian Era, circa 1830s. 

Material and hallmarks: The ring carries no hallmarks but has been acid tested as being 18k gold and silver. The resizing mark that is mentioned below tests as about 12k gold. 

Condition: The ring is in antique condition with some wear, consistent with its age. A few of the settings of the small rose-cut diamonds show wear, but all diamonds have been checked and are sitting securely in their settings: I suspect that one of these small diamonds was reset with some adhesive in the past, since it sits slightly above its setting in one corner. The back of the ring displays a resizing mark and clearly was sized up at some point in its past.
