Antique Brooch Conversion Diamond Daisy Ring

Rather remarkably, this ring would have originally started life as part of an antique French brooch. The daisy is likely to have been part of a larger diamond 'en tremblant' brooch and perhaps was even detachable to be worn as a hairpin. At some stage in recent years the piece has been transformed into a ring with the clever addition of a gold shank which has been executed very carefully. The silver topped 18 karat gold daisy is set with a central 0.40 carat old mine cut diamond which is of K colour and SI clarity, and this stone forms the centre of the flower. The petals and stamen of the daisy are set with a further 48 diamonds, each of them rose cut, of J/K/L colour and SI clarity. In total the ring has a combined diamond weight of 1.48 carat. This rather sizeable cocktail ring is delicate in construction and beautifully crafted, a true statement piece.
