French Agate and Diamond Cluster

This stunning antique cluster ring was made in France and dates to around the mid 19th century, circa 1860.

In the centre rests a smooth banded agate in an open back setting, encircled by a halo of rose cut diamonds in closed-back, cutdown silver settings. The ring has a decorative pierced gallery in the form of crescents. The shoulders are decorated with two applied fleur-de-lys motifs.The main colour of the milky agate is a creamy-brown hue with a darker brown band on one side. 

This elegant ring sits flat on the finger, the stones are secure in their settings and the ring is in superb condition despite its significant age, a truly rare find!
