{"product_id":"antique-edwardian-rose-cut-diamond-ring-silver-topped-gold","title":"Antique Edwardian Rose Cut Diamond Silver-Topped 14K Gold Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome antique rings draw you in with the size of a stone. This one draws you in with the beauty of the entire piece. Delicate, beautifully balanced, and wonderfully architectural, this Edwardian-era ring is built around sweeping silver-topped openwork that gives it remarkable presence on the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the center sits an antique rose-cut diamond, its softly faceted surface perfectly at home within the romantic design. Four additional tiny rose-cut diamonds are tucked discreetly into the surrounding silver work. They aren't immediately obvious; instead, they become wonderful little details discovered as you look more closely at the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is exceptionally graceful. Flowing curves, open spaces, and beautifully worked shoulders create an elegant silhouette across the finger without feeling heavy. The contrast between the softly aged silver and warm 14K yellow gold gives the ring the unmistakable character of an antique jewel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of ring that captures what makes antique jewelry so compelling. The diamonds, metalwork, proportion, and architecture were designed to work together as a complete jewel. More than a century later, it remains a beautiful and remarkably wearable ring with genuine presence on the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate Victorian \/ Edwardian c1890-1915\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive antique rose-cut diamonds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal silver-topped 14K yellow gold head and shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowing openwork design with original decorative shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace measures approximately 12.4 × 16.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessionally restored with a partial 14K gold replacement shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing size 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late Victorian \/ Edwardian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14K yellow gold with silver-topped head and shoulders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRing Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.98 grams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Stone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose cut\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Diamond Measurement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 2.59 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccent Stones:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four rose-cut diamonds, approximately 1.2 mm each\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFace Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 12.4 mm north-to-south × 16.6 mm east-to-west\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight Above Finger:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 6.4 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Shank Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 1.8 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Diamonds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe center diamond is an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theteracollection.com\/blogs\/journal\/identify-rose-cut-diamond\"\u003eantique rose cu\u003c\/a\u003et, with a faceted upper surface rising to a point rather than the table and pavilion arrangement of a modern brilliant cut. Its softer reflections are beautifully suited to the age and character of the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour additional rose-cut diamonds, each approximately 1.2 mm, are incorporated into the surrounding design. They are wonderfully subtle details, nestled into the silver work rather than presented as prominent accent stones. Together, the five rose cuts feel fully integrated into the ring's architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Setting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pierced setting is what makes this \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theteracollection.com\/blogs\/journal\/what-is-edwardian-jewelry-rings-guide\"\u003eantique Edwardian ring\u003c\/a\u003e exceptional. The original 14K yellow gold structure is topped in silver, a historic construction that lets the diamonds sit against white metal while retaining the warmth of yellow gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe head features flowing, symmetrical openwork that extends into beautifully detailed original shoulders. Curving forms move outward from the center diamond, while the open spaces give the substantial 16.6 mm-wide face an airy, almost lace-like quality. From the side, the dimensional construction becomes even more apparent, with the head rising approximately 6.4 mm above the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportantly, the original decorative \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theteracollection.com\/blogs\/journal\/anatomy-of-an-antique-ring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehead and shoulders\u003c\/a\u003e have been preserved. Approximately one-half to three-quarters of the lower shank was professionally replaced in 14K yellow gold, leaving the important original shoulder work intact. The ring was also brought back into round as part of its restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis antique ring remains in beautiful, wearable condition following restoration. The silver-topped head shows age-appropriate wear and some softening to portions of the original detail. This is most apparent under high magnification and considerably less noticeable to the unaided eye. On the finger, the design remains cohesive and the ring faces up beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe partial 14K yellow gold replacement shank is a later restoration and is disclosed as part of the ring's history. The original decorative shoulders and silver-topped head have been preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ring has wonderful presence on the finger. At approximately 16.6 mm across, the openwork spreads beautifully across the hand while the airy construction keeps it from appearing heavy. Its approximately 6.4 mm profile gives the design dimension without making it excessively high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt would make a beautiful alternative engagement ring, right-hand ring, or distinctive everyday antique piece. As with all antique jewelry, sensible care is recommended to preserve the original silver work and rose-cut diamond settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Word on Resizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring is currently a size 7. Because the lower portion of the shank has already been professionally replaced while the original decorative shoulders were preserved, any future sizing should be evaluated by an experienced bench jeweler familiar with antique jewelry. The original shoulder work should be protected during any alteration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNote on Photography\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur jewelry is photographed at high magnification to show craftsmanship, condition, and detail as clearly as possible. This can make normal signs of age, wear, tool marks, and variations in finish appear more prominent than they are to the unaided eye.
