Almost a predecessor to the Art Nouveau ‘whiplash’ motif, this ring’s design is so wearable. The intertwining rose cut diamond blossoms playfully climb the finger, again in a way that seems ahead of its time.  Emily loves the grey hue of 18th century rose cut diamonds because they are so understated and elegant. Their foiled settings are a mark of the period that will give way to open back settings and brighter cuts in the 19th century. Probably England, ca 1800
