This Edwardian ring dates from 1910 and presents an 18-carat gold construction with yellow gold on the band and white gold around the stones. The design incorporates a trilogy layout featuring a central old mine cut diamond flanked by two blue sapphires, all held within bezel settings. Surrounding the central stones is an ornate filigree mount with hand-carved pierced openwork decoration. Visible details include the contrasting gold tones, the faceted cut of the central diamond, and the cushion or round shape of the blue sapphire gemstones. Appropriate for daily wear as a fine jewellery piece, this antique ring suits contemporary wardrobes as a distinctive statement or engagement accessory. It slips onto the finger easily and functions as a traditional finger ornament for personal adornment.

FAQs

Trilogy rings feature three gemstones arranged in a row, historically symbolising the past, present, and future. Popularised during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, these designs combine sapphires and diamonds within detailed gold or platinum mounts.

Edwardian rings were predominantly crafted using 18 carat yellow gold, platinum, or gold topped with platinum. Natural blue sapphires and old-cut diamonds were standard choices, set into hand-carved or filigree openwork mounts.

Authentic rings feature period-appropriate hallmarks indicating gold purity, assay marks, and maker stamps inside the shank. Hand-cut gemstones, such as old European cut diamonds, and hand-pierced detailing also indicate period authenticity.

An antique dress ring functions as a focal accessory suitable for both casual and evening wear. It can be worn individually on the right hand or combined with minimalist contemporary bands for a layered look.

Clean the setting gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush to remove dust from behind the gemstones. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, and store the ring separately in a fabric-lined box to prevent scratching.
