Likely of northwestern European origin, it features nine table-cut rose diamonds set on foil, reflecting the early advancements in diamond cutting during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The table cut, one of the first faceting techniques developed, is time-specific to this era and a key feature in jewellery from this period. The ring‚’s design embodies the spirit of its time, while the shank raises intriguing questions about whether it was born with the ring or replaced later in its long life.
