Antique Peruzzi Diamond Cluster Ring - 19th Century Conversion

This remarkable antique ring bears the legacy of a deeply personal history. The shank, once an early 19th century enameled memorial ring, has gracefully aged over time, with the enamel and inscription worn smooth by the passage of time. At its heart is a stunning antique diamond component, crafted in the form of a delicate flower evoking the charm of a giardinetti ring. The center is a rare Peruzzi cut diamond, weighing 1.25 carats, encircled by six tulip-shaped petals, each set with an old-cut diamond. Created in antiquity, this ring merges a sentimental ring with an heirloom diamond, symbolizing remembrance and devotion. This treasured piece was designed to be passed through generations, holding stories of love, loss and memory.  The delicate enamel and inscriptions on mourning rings often wore away over time, diminishing their original symbolism. Rather than discarding them, families would rework these rings. Inherited jewelry was treasured as a tangible link to the family’s past. B
