In this particular design however, the diamonds are set in a row, and the back of the setting is smooth and convex, which makes it very comfortable to wear. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditionally, rose-cut diamonds were set in silver settings with a little piece of foil behind them to optimize their colour and brilliance. Antiques dealers like myself always worn our clients not to get their rings wet, because these foils can darken when moistened over longer periods of time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWell, that is exactly what happened with this ring: the foils behind the diamonds have darkened, which gives them a moody, mysterious look. In this particular example, I like this effect so much that I am sure someone will love it for its current look! I would advise to refrain from getting it wet from now on, to ensure that the foils do not change more over time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGENERAL INFORMATION \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize: US 8, UK P 1\/2, Circumference 57 mm. \u003cbr\u003eThe front setting measures 20 x 5 mm.\u003cbr\u003eThis ring could be sized if desired. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 2.60 grams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAge: 19th Century, also known as the Georgian Era, circa 1800.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Acid tested as being 14k gold and silver.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: In antique condition with some wear, consistent with age.
