What characterises Victorian navette cluster rings?

Navette or marquise-shaped rings became prominent during the late Victorian era, defined by their elongated oval shape with pointed ends. These designs were created to elongate the finger visually and frequently incorporated intricate arrangements of contrasting gemstones, seed pearls, and diamonds.

What materials were traditionally used in Victorian gemstone rings?

Late Victorian rings were predominantly crafted in 18ct or 15ct yellow gold. Gemstone settings frequently featured natural seed pearls, cabochon turquoise, and old-cut diamonds held within hand-finished claw or grain settings.

How can authentic Victorian rings be identified?

Authentic Victorian rings often feature hallmarks indicating gold purity and assay office location, along with hand-carved galleries and pinched settings. Diamonds from this era typically display hand-cut asymmetrical facets characteristic of old Mine or rose cuts.

How can Victorian gemstone jewellery be styled with modern attire?

Victorian cluster rings serve as statement dress pieces when paired with contemporary minimalist outfits or stacked alongside plain gold bands. The elongated silhouette creates a focal point suited to both evening wear and tailored daytime clothing.

How should an antique turquoise and pearl ring be cared for?

Turquoise and pearls are soft, porous materials vulnerable to chemicals, perfumes, and excess moisture. Clean the ring using only a dry, soft cloth, and avoid submerging the piece in water, chemical cleaners, or ultrasonic tanks.

Description

We are delighted to offer this splendid antique Victorian 18ct gold turquoise, pearl and diamond ring made c.1880.

The ring features such a lovely and delightful design with a standout colour combination of blue and white, contrasted with sparkling diamonds.

At a distance, its unique Victorian and vivid two-toned colour design is distinctly and eye-catching, yet upon closer inspection, its fine craftsmanship, goldsmithing and getting become evermore apparent.

Three central pearls are flanked by two diamonds mounted in 18ct gold and a 'floating' illusion is created by the space between the central line and the surrounding bezel of further diamonds and turquoise.

Its opulent and 'no cost cut' embellishment is further apparent with each 'shoulder' of the ring being intricately set with two further diamonds of tapering sizes.

Such elegant, ebullient and distinguished design would most certainly complement wearing among other antique pieces or as a standalone ring, accenting your style and serving as a conversation starter for the keen-eyed.

Turquoise is known to be the birthstone of December, Diamond for April and Pearl for June.

A very special gift to a lucky individual or as an indulging gift to oneself. Classically elegant, distinguished and a conversation starter.

The ring is unmarked as is common with rings of this period and as such, we have fully tested it for 18ct solid gold

All of our rings come with a complimentary hard shell gift box with a velvet interior.
