Cushion-cut diamonds were used in jewelry from about 1770 onwards, but they are super-rare to find in Georgian jewelry, as this was considered the up-to-the-minute cut, and incorporated much more of the diamond than did rose-cut pieces. This ring features three dazzling cushion-cut diamonds of the finest quality, surrounded by a border of 24 tiny rose-cut "sparks!" The ...

Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Georgian:Jargoons/Zircon
Dating to ca. 1775-1785, this lovely pair of jargoon drop earrings comes directly from my own private collection of fine Georgian jewelry, but I have reluctantly decided to "de-access" them in order to pay for new stock.
