This antique ring has an old Georgian foiled back rose cut diamond at the center, with diamonds along the sides. The foil backing was meant to add depth and dimension to the stone. Rose cut diamonds are typically flat back.
The center diamond is estimated at 0.38 carats. Its stone measurements are 6.00-5.10 x 2.00 mm in depth. Some stones around the edges have been replaced with single cut diamonds, which are more recent. They appear to replace rose cut diamonds that fell out.
The ring is more fragile than most rings because of its age and its setting. Foil backed diamonds are a poor match for anyone who is active with their hands or is often in water or washing their hands.
