AC Silver has dated this Victorian Gemstone Dress Ring to the 1870s.
This fine and impressive antique Victorian ring has been crafted in 15ct yellow gold.

The intricate pierced decorated setting is ornamented with a row of four cushion cut amethysts, displayed above a row of four 2mm seed pearls, all individually four claw set.
Five graduated four claw set cushion cut emeralds embellish the space between the amethysts and pearls.

The subtly elevated, flared ring shoulders are embellished with a sharp chased decoration, as are the sides of the setting and shank.
The ring is hallmarked to the interior of the shank with the maker's mark, the 15ct gold fineness mark (15.625), the Birmingham Assay Office hallmark (anchor) and the date letter for 1870 (V).

This antique Victorian dress ring is supplied with an IDGL diamond grading report card.
'Rather than regarding inclusions in coloured stones as harmful, in small sizes and numbers that do not in any way detract from their beauty, they should be regarded as adding to desirability, for they provide identifying characteristics.'
