A 19th century diamond floral cluster ring, comprising a central oval old cut diamond measuring 5.3mm x 4.5mm, with a surround of eight further old cut diamonds, cluster measuring 11.18mm x 10.82mm, all set in white metal, monogrammed initial 'J' to reverse of cluster, continuing to scrolling foliate yellow metal shoulders and reeded shank, size O, weight 3.7gms
One of the diamonds on the outer border shows a very large fracture running through the centre of the stone. All other stones are in tact, showing minor scratching and wear only. Moderate wear and to the settings, some small splits around the border, however all stones appear secure. Shoulders show scratching, wear and some loss of definition to detail commensurate with age and wear, but no signs of splitting or repair. There is some thinning to the shank, however no splitting, resizing or repair is evident. Professional cleaning may be required.
We cannot provide an accurate colour/clarity grade for the stones in this ring due to the closed back setting. Under 10x, there are many marks and stains within the central diamond, but these may be between the setting and the stone, rather then within the stone itself. The stones to the border surround show what appear to be minor inclusions, but also marks and stains that may be between the stone and the setting. Due to the setting, the overall appearance of the stones is grey/dull.
