looking for a one of a kind treasure? this 18k yellow and white gold collage of different old cut diamonds is such a masterpiece and even features a center eye motif!
the setting is quite old, and the band is quite sturdy and shows signs that it was a later addition from a vintage re-banding when the original band either broke or became too thin to repair. the result is a sturdier-than-most shield ring band
this ring is unusual and beautiful —it features 14 small rose cut diamonds with illusion settings, two rose cut diamonds in bezel settings, and three European cut diamonds in prong settings
solid 18k gold, marked 18
likely dates to the late 1800s or early 1900s

there is a messy sizing area / discoloration at the base of the ring
these are antique diamonds and will show wear. at least one of the stones has a chip underneath/hidden by a prong, but I expect that's true of some of the others. please enlarge photos to see condition of the stones with magnification
this ring was previously re-banded, meaning that the focal setting is original, and the band was a vintage replacement and you can see where it was soldered to either side of the setting
stones are held by their original prongs and some may eventually need to be re-tipped, but currently all of the diamonds are securely held in their settings, so it seems premature to give the prongs a tune up
