The rose cut is one of the oldest diamond cuts and can already be found in jewelry from the 16th century. Numerous famous diamonds, such as the Orloff and the Great Mogul, are designed in the rose cut. It is characterized by a star-shaped faceting on the top and a flat underside. This creates a very specific, soft shimmer, which differs significantly from the sometimes bright sparkle of today's diamonds. This ring combines seventeen such diamond roses. They occupy the shoulders of the ring and, in particular, the center of the design: The magnificent center stone alone weighs approximately 1.25 ct. It is very clear and bright and a great delight. Set in silver, the foiled diamonds reveal their rare brilliance, especially by candlelight. Entourage rings of this kind were very popular at the end of the 19th century and also in the 1970s. However, this ring dates back to the early 19th century, as the details of the workmanship show. We discovered the ring in London and assume that it was also made in Great Britain. Comparable rings are illustrated in Ginny Redington Dawas/Olivia Collings: Georgian Jewelry 1714-1830, Woodbridge 2007, p. 135.

As the rose cut is rarely used for larger diamonds today, it is all the more beautiful to have historical pieces of jewelry with these individually set cuts. The further back in time we go, the rarer diamond jewelry becomes. This ring, however, has always been well preserved, is still wearable today and demonstrates the jewelry art of earlier times in the most beautiful way.
