Georgian Rose Cut Diamond Half Hoop

$1,650

Sold!

This seven diamond ring is a wonderful example of the simple half-hoop style popular in late Georgian Britain (the style is called a “half-hoop” because the stones cover about one-half of the ring, whereas a “hoop ring” has stones around the full circumference of the band.) The slightly oblong rose cut diamonds are graduated in size, tucked into closed silver settings, and backed in foil to give the stones a uniform brilliance. The hoop is made in 14k yellow gold. Please note that it is best not to immerse foil-backed diamonds in water as it is possible for moisture to seep behind the stones, this means no wearing this beauty in the shower or the swimming pool.
