The head is silver-topped 10K gold, 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\u003eA rose cut this size is a statement. With no pointed underside, all of its weight sits in the face, so it covers more of the finger than a modern brilliant of the same carat weight would. The domed crown of triangular facets gives a soft glow where a brilliant would glitter. Ottoman jewelers called these stones \u003cem\u003eroza\u003c\/em\u003e, and in the 1800s they were among the most popular diamonds in the empire.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eJewelers set diamonds in silver to make them look whiter and backed them with gold for strength, and this ring does both. The bezel sits about 7mm off the finger, so the ring wears lower than it looks. It would make a gorgeous engagement or cocktail ring.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique, circa 1885 to 1925 (our estimate)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/strong\u003eOttoman tradition, Eastern Mediterranean (our attribution)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700 silver-topped 10K gold head; 10K gold band (tested)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter stone(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Diamond, Old European cut, approx. 1.30 carats, VS2 clarity, H-I color\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide Stones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 side diamonds, salt \u0026amp; pepper\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bezel-set (center diamond), prong-set (shoulder diamonds)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/strong\u003e13mm head width, 20mm shoulder width, 7mm rise off of finger\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.44 grams\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Aska Privé","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54725496209681,"sku":"MER252","price":3530.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/1298\/2033\/files\/MER252_1_4193870.jpg?v=1790267401","url":"https:\/\/askaprive.com\/products\/antique-1-3ct-rose-cut-diamond-engagement-ring-silver-topped-10k-gold","provider":"Aska Privé","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
