<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 10576187, member: 2844&quot;]Lovely ring, [USER=10173]@northbeach[/USER] . It could be 18th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>The style is not Iberian imo. Also, 18th century and earlier Iberian diamond rings that I have seen are all gold, and usually carry marks. Contrary to most other Europeans, they didn&#039;t use silver to set off the white of the diamond.</p><p>The use of ca 15 carat gold suggests a British origin to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a fun construction. I wonder if the gold band is a 19th century addition, a replacement for an original band which may have broken.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, we have an old cut diamond thread, because quite a few of us prefer old diamonds. I can&#039;t find the thread right now, but your ring would fit right in there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
