This ring from the last years of the 19th century is made from 18-karat gold and features a beautiful old-cut diamond as a solitaire in the center. The gemstone weighs around 0.49 carats and has a cushion-shaped old mine cut. It is held by a setting that looks like a flower basket. The piece of jewellery is a so-called "Belcher" ring - a ring shape that was particularly popular at the end of the 19th century. This type of ring is characterized by a flush setting in which the prongs are cut into the ring band. The stone is set into a recess so that its plate is flush with the gold surface. The name probably goes back to the London jeweler Thomas Belcher, who made this type of setting popular in the early 19th century. According to the hallmark, our example was imported to England in 1980. The ring is in very good condition and can be worn by both men and women.
