We love this fanciful Georgian diamond cluster ring and the way the flower cluster is shaped like a petal, incredibly time consuming hand work. The ring is mounted on an 18K gold band, as befitting a fine ring of this era, and it has 7 diamonds set in silver surrounding a center diamond and three additional diamonds placed symmetrically on each side. The center diamond has been picked out with a lovely crimped gold border...
