This Edwardian ring is an 18 carat yellow gold piece hallmarked Birmingham 1905, designed in a two-row style set with alternating round dark blue sapphires and sparkling white old-cut diamonds. The structured setting incorporates individual claw settings for each gemstone, supported by a delicately carved gallery and flanked by textured, patterned shoulders that taper into a solid band. The visual composition presents a striking contrast between the rich golden metal, the deep blue sapphires and the clear old-cut diamonds arranged symmetrically across two parallel rows. While the exact physical dimensions are not explicitly listed in centimetres, the scale is typical of a standard finger size M 1/2 designed for comfortable everyday wear on the hand. It makes a sophisticated addition to a personal jewellery collection, well-suited for formal occasions or daily wear as a historically significant dress ring.

FAQs

Edwardian rings, originating between 1901 and 1910, often feature intricate metalwork, claw or grain settings, and symmetrical arrangements of precious gemstones such as sapphires and diamonds.

These rings were commonly crafted using 18 carat yellow gold or platinum, combined with hand-faceted gemstones including old European cut diamonds and natural sapphires.

Authentic pieces usually display historical hallmarks indicating gold purity, assay marks, hand-carved gallery details, and hand-cut gemstone facets typical of the period.

A low-profile Edwardian band can be worn as a standalone statement piece or paired alongside simple gold bands for a contemporary stacked style.

Clean the setting gently using warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding chemical cleaners, and store individually to prevent abrasive damage.
