Celestial jewellery from the Victorian era features motifs such as stars, moons, and comets, reflecting the periods fascination with astronomy and symbolism.

What materials were traditionally used in late Victorian enamel rings?

Late Victorian enamel rings typically combined 9ct or 15ct yellow gold with vitreous enamel cabochons, often set with small diamonds or pearls.

How can authentic late Victorian enamel rings be identified?

Authentic pieces usually show hand-cut gemstones, such as rose or old-European cut diamonds, period hallmarks, and hand-applied enamel work on thin gold bands.

How can antique enamel rings be worn with contemporary attire?

Enamel dress rings function as statement pieces that can be worn individually on the index or middle finger, or paired alongside simple modern gold bands.

How should antique enamel and diamond jewellery be cared for?

Enamel pieces must be kept away from water, chemicals, and extreme temperature changes, and should be cleaned gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth.

Antique Victorian Diamond Star Ring 9ct Gold Blue Enamel Cabochon - C.1890

19th century

For Sale by Artisan Antiques

Description

We are delighted to offer this stunning antique Victorian diamond star and blue enamel ring made c.1890.

Unapologetically Victorian, this ring features some of the most desirable and stylish elements of the period. The light blue enamel remains in excellent order without any chips/damage and envelops the top 'cabochon' shaped mount.

The celestial theme/style is further emphasized by the addition of an embedded gold star in which old-cut diamonds are set, capturing the essence of mystical divinity/space in an enchanting design.

The blue enamel surface is delicate and 'soft' yet the colour is striking and delightfully vibrant upon wearing and seeing in person under natural lighting.

The sharp diamond edges and points of the star contrast the overall rounded and 'soft' design of the ring and act as an accent to the overall look.

Overall, a splendid piece of fine Victorian jewellery whether it be a special gift or for a personal addition. This ring would most certainly make for a unique addition for the distinguished antique jewellery lover and an instant conversation starter upon wearing. Perfect as a single ring to accentuate your outfit or among various other Victorian jewellery.

The ring is unmarked as is common with gold articles of the period and as such, we have fully tested it for 9ct solid gold.

Diamond is known to be the birthstone for April.

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