This magnificent find comes from Spain. After a little research, I realized he is so much older than I could ever imagine. And he comes with 2 surprises even I could not fathom and have never seen nor will I ever again I fancy [but never say never, right?]. A silver topped 14k gold unisex ring composed of 3 oval [navette] shaped rose cut diamonds. Now there are two distinct features of this ring that give away its age. The first is the use of silver on the top. This dates to the 1600’s. Rose cut diamonds first appeared in the 1500’s. The second [and most astonishing] are 2 natural diamond crystals on the table of the third stone in this ring. In other words TWO diamonds formed within the third diamond when it was cut. The original cutter left them, and polished the stone.
The appraiser could not date the ring, nor could the Jeweler. The best estimate they said was the Georgian era because silver on top of gold was used in the early to mid 1600’s. That means we are looking at a piece of 175+ year old history. Here are the stats on this beauty..I am in awe.

The conservative appraisal on this came in at $10k+. But the truth of the matter is, if this ring were ever lost or destroyed you would NEVER be able to replace it. It is truly a one of a kind!
