This grand solitaire ring showcases an imposing cushion cut pink paste stone which has been foil backed and collet set in a large silver gallery. It dates to the Georgian era (Circa 1800) and looks to have been converted from an old necklace with a new beaded 18ct gold band added to the back to create a fabulous ring that is true to the style of the era. Paste is a heavy, transparent flint glass that has been used since ancient times to simulate the beauty of gemstones. The art of cutting paste takes expert craftsmanship and the highest quality stones are often able to replicate the cut, colour and sparkle of natural gems to near perfection. It’s a striking piece, showcasing a beautifully preserved antique stone that has been given new life in this magnificent statement ring.
