Georgian Gold, Blue Glass & Old Mine Cut Diamonds Bague au Firmament Ring

251K
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A fantastic Georgian ring that was made circa 1800-1820. It has been set with old mine cut diamonds. Beneath the centre diamond cluster is blue glass. Georgian rings like this were known as “bagues au firmament”, or “rings of the heavens”. The deep blue glass was intended to evoke the night sky, and the diamonds the stars, in this case you have a singular big star surrounded by a cluster of diamonds. These rings are getting increasingly rare.
