Dating from around 1650, this Renaissance-to-Baroque ring is a rare testament to early diamond jewelry. Its understated construction in warm yellow gold and silver holds six table-cut diamonds and one rose-cut diamond, whose subtle sparkle is enhanced by a historic foil setting. Probably of Belgian origin, this ring is valued here less for its ornamentation than for its antique stones, which allow it to be convincingly dated to the 17th century.
- Type of jewelry: ring
- Condition: very good condition
- Country of origin: although this ring bears no legible hallmark, its construction and appearance suggest a probably Belgian origin.
- Style: Baroque. Baroque is an artistic style that dominated much of Europe from the late 16th century to the early 18th century. In jewelry, this period is associated with rich ornamentation, a strong visual presence, hand-crafted settings, and antique diamond cuts, such as the table cut, which give the jewelry of this age its distinctive and restrained brilliance.
- This ring is very likely connected to the Baroque period because of its antique diamond cuts, especially the table-cut stones, rather than because of pronounced Baroque ornamentation. Although the ring itself is understated in form and does not display the rich decoration often associated with Baroque design, its stones and construction are consistent with a 17th-century attribution.
- Period: circa 1650.
- Material: 18K warm yellow gold and silver, tested with a touchstone.
- Technique: the rose-cut diamonds are foil-set. This particular technique was used to enhance the brilliance of the diamonds.
- Diamonds: six table-cut diamonds and one rose-cut diamond.
- The weight of these diamonds is not stated, which is normal in the trade for table-cut and rose-cut diamonds.
- All diamonds in our antique jewelry and vintage jewelry, regardless of their cut or shape, are verified as natural by the IJGC laboratory.
- Birthstone: diamond is the birthstone for the month of April.
- Hallmarks: illegible remnants.
- Dimensions: width of the ring head 0.46 cm.
- Weight: 1.50 g.
