<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 223265, member: 29"]Carly, I'm guessing you're in the UK - my neck of the woods. The setting looks as though it might be as early as you think, but I can't see the stone well enough. Certainly, diamonds at that time were point or sometimes rose cut and that metal inset looks about right. Depending on where you are, I'd be taking it to a decent local museum to look at. The average jeweller will know the square root of naff all about really old jewels. If you're near London I know some places, and I also know some on the South Coast. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other people to contact are the Portable Antiquities Scheme. They deal with found objects in Britain.
