This antique ring, dating back to the first half of the 19th century, is an authentic masterpiece of goldsmith art, expressing over two centuries of history.
Crafted entirely by hand, it features a refined crown extending from the shoulders, with elegant openwork and sinuous scrolls that lend lightness and movement to the design. This enveloping structure develops into an expertly crafted frame, culminating in an elaborate setting that houses the gems.
At the center, a delicately framed rose-cut diamond shines, while a ring of nine smaller diamonds completes the composition, adding sparkle and allure. These gems, set in a nightstand configuration, retain a pearly patina that testifies to their ancient splendor, achieved thanks to centuries of sedimentation in the gold-plated cavity lined with silver metal.
Crafted entirely from 18-karat yellow gold, the ring retains its authenticity without being polished, unless requested, to preserve its original allure. While perfectly wearable, it is a unique and precious piece, perfect for antique jewelry enthusiasts and collectors of rare pieces.

This ring is a true miracle of preservation, an object of extraordinary historical and artistic value that has survived the passage of two centuries.
