Description

---

Antique gold ring set with a cluster of natural rose-cut diamonds. The diamonds are set in silver, which makes them sparkle even more beautifully. A beautiful and classic piece of jewelry from the Victorian era. The ring is crafted from 14-karat yellow gold (585/1000) and second-grade silver (835/1000). Rose-cut diamonds are the oldest diamond cut. A brilliant-cut diamond, as is often seen today, has a point at the bottom. A rose-cut diamond does not have this; it is flat at the bottom. The stone is spherical and faceted. The name "rose-cut diamond" comes from its resemblance to a flower. The popularity of this cut declined from the 18th century onward, but today the brilliant shape is more popular. It shines and sparkles more, making it more eye-catching. However, at various times, the rose-cut diamond has seen a resurgence in popularity.
