Georgian Double Row Old Cut Diamond 18K Gold Antique Ring
Late 18th–early 19th century
About this piece
This Georgian double-row diamond ring is a refined and beautifully constructed example of late 18th to early 19th-century jewelry, crafted in yellow gold with a silver-topped setting. The ring is set with two neat rows of old-cut diamonds, each stone individually hand-set to create a softly shimmering surface with depth and texture rather than modern brilliance.
The diamonds are mounted in silver over gold, a traditional Georgian technique used to enhance the natural whiteness of diamonds before the introduction of white gold or platinum. This method also allowed the stones to be set closely together, forming a compact and continuous diamond face with a pleasing sense of weight and cohesion. The understated shoulders transition seamlessly into the polished gold band, reflecting the restrained elegance characteristic of the Georgian period.
Balanced, wearable, and quietly striking, this ring would have been worn as a treasured personal jewel, valued for its craftsmanship, subtle sparkle, and timeless design.

Tiffany’s note
Georgian rings are getting genuinely hard to find, especially in wearable condition like this. The diamonds are set in silver over gold, the way jewelers whitened diamonds before platinum existed. It has a quiet shimmer rather than flash, which is exactly what I love about this era.
Ring size and resizing
Antique rings are one of a kind, so each one comes in the size it was made or last resized to. This ring’s current size is listed in the details above.
Most antique rings can be resized by a skilled goldsmith, though some designs can’t be changed much without affecting the setting. Message us with your size before you order and we’ll tell you what’s possible for this ring.
If your ring needs resizing, we’ll have it done before it ships. Resizing usually takes 7 to 10 days, and we’ll email you to arrange delivery once it’s ready.
Caring for an antique ring
An antique ring has already lasted a century or more, and a little care keeps it that way. Take it off for the gym, gardening, cleaning and swimming. Store it on its own so stones don’t scratch each other. Clean it gently with warm water and a soft brush, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners. Have the claws and setting checked by a jeweler about once a year.
