A substantial old cut and rose cut diamond ring set to the centre with a faceted citrine.
The ring is finely made with a floral diamond encrusted split shank rising to a halo of closed back set rose cut diamonds. At the face of the ring 14 chunky old cut diamonds are set in a halo design together with a large single intense vibrant citrine stone at the centre.
The jeweller has paid exceptional attention to detail right down to tiny rose cut diamonds set between each of the old cuts at the boarder to exemplify its radiance.
