A Beautiful Ring, created for the elite of the Georgian Time Period!! Possibly a Historical Museum ring, this has all the details it should. Handmade in 18K Rose Gold. The setting holds a center Cabochon Moonstone with a Halo of nine Old Mine Cut White Diamonds. The Moonstone is so clean you can see right through it! The Upper Shank is angle cut and attached at the bottom of the setting, giving this setting a suspended appearance. The Upper shank ends with fine edges and detail. The upper to lower shank has a mild taper. One side Shank is of a hanging Banner. The Banner has internal Sand Cast Work. One Banner contains the Sword and Scales. Sword and scales predate the Blindfolded Lady. The Blindfold displays the "court's" impartiality. In the Georgian Time Period, if the Scales don't weight in your favor you are judged by the Sword!! The Sword symbolizes Power while the Scales represent the court's impartiality. The other Shank appears as a Tablet with LEX at the top. Lex was the medieval term used for a body of laws or specific law.
I have spent a week searching auction sites, online and asking around. No one has anything like this!
I am picturing this ring in a museum or under a cubed glass display on the desk of a Judge, Super Lawyer or important Politician. This is a piece of History!!
