Leafy shoulders in blackened silver hold six small salt-and-pepper diamonds, and a slim rose-toned gold band completes it. In our experience, this is Ottoman-tradition work from the Eastern Mediterranean, made roughly 100 to 140 years ago.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIn the Grand Bazaar workshops, the metal framework of a jewel was often the job of a specialist the Ottomans called a \u003cem\u003esadekâr\u003c\/em\u003e, and setting the stones was another craft entirely. Here the silver is 940, whiter than sterling, and it keeps the diamonds bright. The 10K gold gives the ring its strength and that warm edge of color.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eRose cuts have a domed crown of triangular facets and no pointed underside, so they glow where a brilliant would glitter.
