Engagement

Georgian

Georgian jewellers had no way of making a stone perform, so they made it sit.

Before the modern cut existed, a diamond was held close to the finger and the gold carried the structure — a low seat, fine hand-worked metal, a profile that was considered from the side because that is how a ring was seen by candlelight. Nothing about it was designed to be photographed, because photographs did not exist.

We build on that principle rather than copying the period. These are not replicas. They are settings drawn to the same logic and made with modern precision, which is why old mine cuts belong in them — softer outlines, deeper proportions, cut in the same century the settings borrow from.
