A fine platinum and diamond halo cluster ring, French hallmark to outside of shank, the principal brilliant cut diamond originally from an earlier, French piece of jewellery, weighing approx. 2.85ct, within a halo border of small single cut diamonds, the shoulders each set with eight brilliant cut diamonds, size G.

* The principal diamond is an old mid-century French stone which has been re-set by the current owner. There is no damage to the stone - no chips, cracks or other faults. As an old stone, it does draw some colour - we would assess the colour as approx. K-L. Clarity approx. SI1 - there are a few small, scattered inclusions and a small patch of tiny carbon spots near to the culet, which are visible through a 10x lens, but not to the naked eye. The claws have some wear but are secure and there is some wear to the platinum around the outer circumference of the halo, but again the claws are all intact and the smaller diamonds secure and all present and original. The shank appears to have been sized in the past.
