Perfect for a special anniversary or engagement ring, this is a romantic love ring in many ways starting with the turquoise stone as a focal point. Our diamond cluster ring was handcrafted around the year 1850, the beginning of the industrial revolution which would see changes to the craftsmanship of jewelry. This ring managed to get in "under the wire" before these changes would take place. With 32 old mine cut diamonds bordering a cabochon turquoise, the ring is a study in color and sensory contrast. The diamond tones compliment the turquoise and the diamonds are set on silver, a metal that compliments their cool tones. The ring face is further set on a polished gold Georgian pillow back. Additionally, the rough diamonds are a wonderful contrast against the smooth cabochon turquoise. Another detail is the stem shaped hand soldering marks where the band was soldered to the ring back and the "crimped" collet. Our ring fits sizes from size 6.5 to to 7.5.
