An exceptional example of 19th century craftsmanship: a high-carat rococo mourning ring rendered in lustrous enamel with a rose-cut diamond set in silver. This piece balances the ornate flourish of rococo design with the quiet restraint of mourning jewellery—poignant, and unmistakably rare.
Why this ring stands apart
Distinctive design: A fluid rococo silhouette—scrolls, foliage, and asymmetrical curves—executed with refined taste.
High-carat gold: The ring’s substantial gold content provides warm, enduring tones that complement the enamel and contrast beautifully with the silver-set diamond.
Rose-cut diamond: The rose-cut diamond, set in silver to enhance its brilliance, lends a soft, romantic sparkle. Its flat base and faceted dome are perfectly in keeping with period aesthetics, offering an intimate glow rather than modern flash.
