Description

A superb example of a Victorian dress ring carved in 18-carat yellow gold. Two pairs of twinkling rose-cut diamonds (each approx 1.5mm in diameter) are displayed between the three beautiful natural baby blue sapphires in a multi-claw setting. The sapphires are exceptionally pretty and really draw the eye when worn. The central sapphire measures approximately 4.5mm, with the two flanking stones approx 4mm across.

The ring is in very good antique condition, with normal surface wear for its age. The gemstones have a few small surface pits and abrasions when seen under a jeweller's loupe, no chips or cracks or obvious flaws when worn.

The interior of the shank is fully hallmarked for 18 carat gold, Birmingham 1896.

Size: N (UK), approx 6 and three quarters (US). The face of the ring is approx 1.5 x 0.5cm.

Weight: 2.9g.
