Description

A beautiful antique yellow sapphire solitaire ring. The yellow sapphire in the centre – certified as natural, unheated and originating from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) – is a sunny, lemon yellow. The stone is secured in a twelve claw yellow gold collet which sits between wide, spear-shaped shoulders, leading to a slender shank. Crafted in 18k yellow gold.

Victorian jewellery spans the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, categorised into three distinct periods: Romantic, Grand, and Aesthetic, each featuring specific motifs and gemstone preferences.

Late Victorian rings frequently utilised 9-carat or 18-carat yellow gold, often paired with natural gemstones such as sapphires, rubies, and diamonds secured in claw or bezel settings.

Authentic antique rings typically exhibit hand-forged or early cast construction marks, hand-cut gemstones with characteristic facet proportions, and occasionally historical hallmarks indicating the assay office and metal purity.

An antique gold ring pairs effectively with contemporary minimalist bands to create a mixed-era stacked look, allowing the historical piece to serve as a focal point.

Antique jewellery should be cleaned gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips that may damage older settings or treated stones.
