The North South Diamond Ring

| Georgian Rose Cut Diamond Ring in 14K Gold and Silver|

This one's got history. Diamond and gemstone rings of the Georgian era were nearly all in closed-back settings, sometimes with foil between the stone and the metal. This way, the soft candlelight would be able to reflect within the stone and create the sparkle that's attributed to jewelry. This ring is a stunning example of this technique, where the rose cut diamonds are set in closed-back silver settings. Silver was thought to enhance the appearance of diamonds in jewelry, which is apparent in the collet settings and detailed surround. She's a little moody, but get her near candlelight and watch her dance.
