[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4318465, member: 2844"]Gorgeous ring, Snilda, but it looks later to me too. I would say mid 19th, still a very good age. Georgian rings tend to have flat, closed backs. While yours has closed backs on the settings, the rest is not flat and too open for a Georgian ring, imo. That fluting on the settings was used in Georgian times, but I think it came in later than the date given in the listing. This ring has a typical Georgian back (I can't copy the photo, but the link is reliable): [URL]https://laurelleantiquejewellery.com/products/georgian-style-rose-cut-diamond-cluster-ring-18ct-gold-silver-2-60ct-of-diamond[/URL] This later one has a fluted back (I hope the picture shows): [IMG]https://thevintagejeweller.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/IMG_0177-1.jpg[/IMG] [URL]https://thevintagejeweller.co.uk/product/georgian-rose-cut-diamond-crown-ring-circa-1810s/#prettyPhoto[/URL] This one has a back like yours, closed settings, but the construction of the ring itself isn't flat. For instance, the square shape around the central diamond stands out separately. The seller dates it to ca 1850: [IMG]https://www.halsbandaffaire.de/media/image/product/10251/lg/nuernberg-um-1850-seltener-biedermeier-ring-gold-750-silber-diamanten~4.jpg[/IMG] [URL]https://www.halsbandaffaire.de/Nuernberg-um-1850-Seltener-Biedermeier-Ring-Gold-750-Silber-Diamanten[/URL][/QUOTE]
