"WOW!" may not be a very eloquent word but that is the first word I used when I saw this wonderful Georgian ring at an antique show last weekend. I am really happy with this beautiful blue enameled ring. Very old (about 1780 - 1800 's??) ring with silver shank, blue enamel and a great number of some old rose cut diamonds. Some diamonds are a little bit damaged but I think it's still a stunning ring. The upper diamond is set in silver all others around are set in rose gold. In my opinion it's indeed very old but that's only my feeling otherwise I can't realy know to date. Do you agree? And what is your idea of dating ??

PhilDavidAlexanderMorris thanks for your repeated loving
Davyd286 although I thought your comment about this ring a real option your suggestion is not possible. To change this button in a ring is needing soldering and thus heat otherwise the enamel will be damaged. Only modern jewelry techniques a.o. with laser could this without damaging the enamel. So this must be a ring from origin.
Bradjdd thanks for your always lasting interest and loving
Agram, you may be right. However, when I look at photo #3, the bottom appears convex, therefore there will be air (or even some filler material, like plaster) between the bottom and the enameled top to provide sufficient insulation, so that the enamel does not get heated during soldering.
davyd286, yes looking to photo 3 you might get this idea about the convex. But the convex is part of the setting with diamonds and not the enamelled basic.
The basic plate is almost flat As you maybe can see the new photo 4 the plate on which the button is set is almost flat. Because as you know metal is a very good conductor and that space is too small to contain a lot of air or other material that the would be able to stop conducting . If this ring was a modern one you would be right but in this case I still doubt.
Button conversion or not, I say WOW too!

Davyd286,
I would like to come back to your assertion above that the ring was made of a button. I happen to (photo 4) encountered a typical Georgian ring with the caption: Back of ring showing typical Georgian closed back setting.
This way of setting I'm not often, actually never till now came in my sight till I saw this and the tekst about it. Therefore I'm still convinced this is an original Georgian ring and not a ring made of a button. I still think it's nice just to let you know.
Davyd286 My ring has the same setting as the ring of photo 4.
