Edwardian Onyx and Diamond Dinner Ring, c.1900s

A distinctive web-evocative design comprised of onyx and rose cut diamonds highlights a single old cut diamond at the centre of this unique Edwardian era dinner ring. The centre diamond is a G in colour, VS in clarity and weighs 0.15 carat. A further smattering of grain set rose cuts decorates the ring’s outer edge, while a petite pair shimmers at either of its slender shoulders. The rose cut diamonds add a further 0.30 carats to the weight, and all the stones are expertly highlighted by hand cut onyx. The two-tone setting, which is original to the ring, was handmade during the very early 1900s with all of the mille-graining and hand-engraved flourishes that one would hope to see in a ring dating from this period.
