A striking Edwardian diamond cluster ring dating to c.1900, crafted in 18ct gold with a platinum-set flower head. A larger old mine cut diamond sits proudly at the centre, surrounded by eight smaller old mine cut diamonds to create a complete nine-stone floral cluster.
The diamonds retain the individual character of early hand-cut stones, with softly irregular facets and a lively antique sparkle. The platinum setting keeps the entire flower bright and crisp against the warm 18ct gold band, while the raised open-backed construction allows plenty of light through the stones. The scalloped outline gives the ring a particularly attractive flower-like profile from every angle.
The central diamond has a weight of approximately 0.12ct, with eight outer diamonds, giving an estimated total diamond weight of around 0.25ct. Presented in very good antique condition with age-related wear consistent with its age.
