In the 1870s, a new way of setting gemstones emerged in Great Britain. It was called "gypsy setting" (today mostly "flush setting") and was characterized by the fact that it did not require prongs or bezels. Instead, the stones or pearls were recessed into the precious metal so that they lay flat with the surface of the piece of jewelry. These settings usually form small stars, in the middle of which the stone is held by small driven grains. As this technique did not create any protruding elements, it was particularly comfortable to wear and quickly became very popular. This ring is a wonderful example of this artful way of setting gemstones. Seven diamonds, one old-cut and six smaller rose-cut diamonds, are set like stars in the warmly glowing yellow gold: The slightly curved ring band makes them appear like sparkling stars in the firmament. Elegant ornaments frame the diamonds to the sides. The beautiful ring was made in the manufactory of Joseph Curmin Ginder & Walter Conroy Couch in Birmingham. There it was also presented to the city's assay office in 1908. We finally found the well-preserved piece in London - a small canopy of heaven for the hand.
