Edwardian Diamond Openwork Swirl Ring Size:5.75 The cameo is set in

The cameo is set in a slightly later silver signet ring mount that features gold pommels to the shoulders and a gold ropetwist motif around the head

and with slightly unusual solid gold links the quality is evident before you even feel the weight

but looking at it now is it really a parachute and soldier viewed from the ground

lead was added to glass to increase its refraction and dispersion (separation of light into its component colours) and minute quantities of "colouring" elements such as chromium (red and green)

The two smaller stones are arranged in a classic crossover "Toi et Moi" arrangement
