Edwardian Old European Cut Diamond Openwork Ring in Platinum

A classic platinum and old European cut diamond curved openwork ring from the Edwardian period. Showcasing refined Edwardian elegance, a central diamond (0.95ct) has been securely millegrain set. This has been surrounded by a curved openwork plaque set with smaller diamonds. The Edwardian period only lasted for nine years (1901-1910), but it was an incredibly important era for jewellery design. Hugely intricate pieces showcasing the very best diamonds and coloured gemstones were worn with elaborate fashions from the most famous French couture houses. Driven by the explosion of court life, steered by the fashion-conscious King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, this was a truly special time.
