A refined and romantic ring from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, set with a pale pink pearl and a silvery-grey pearl stacked vertically. Surrounding this central column are 24 tiny rose-cut diamonds, set in silver-topped 14k gold to maximize sparkle against the soft gleam of the pearls. Marked with a “C x C” maker’s mark and a Hungarian hallmark, it speaks to the rich craft traditions of 19th-century Central Europe.
