Move over the V&A (Museum in London) this is the one which elicits audible intakes of breath heard upon getting a glimpse of this rare ring. Circa 1760-1780, this Georgian rose cut diamond ring is a testament to sentiment, love and the art of the jeweler.

In a private collection for over 15 years, and unworn the entire time, every millimeter exudes intricacy and artful design.

Where to begin… with the rose cut diamond, the silver and diamond work or the enamel ribbon?

The sinuous cobalt blue enamel ribbon wins. The phrase, "Mon Coeur Est A Vous" is styled in gold and translates to, "My Heart is Yours".

This finger jewel will certainly capture your heart in every respect. Contrary to your immediate guess, the ring is not French but is most likely English. At the time French was the language in vogue for the aristocrats of the day.

The center is a rose cut diamond of 8 mm in diameter. Although comparable visually to a 2 carat diamond, as rose cuts are flat on the bottom, the weight is closer to 1.5 carats (and not removed). It was likely foiled beneath with green tinted metal to cast this sea green hue although pink can sometimes be found.

The rose cut centers within a flower with petals of silver set with old mine cut diamonds — eight in all. At each side there are leaves and another flower dotted with diamonds. Below the banner rest more blossoms and leaves.

In 20k yellow gold and silver, the back shows a center with a sun ray pattern often seen in the seventy-five years of the of the eighteenth century. Please note the diagonal pattern which wends it way toward the back. Overall breathtaking and superb.
