This George V boat ring originates from the Edwardian period and dates to 1917, bearing full Birmingham hallmarks for 18ct yellow gold. The elongated navette-shaped setting displays a central round-cut blue sapphire flanked by two smaller blue sapphires and four accent diamonds interspersed between the stones. The gold band features an openwork gallery along the upper profile and intricate carved shoulders tapering towards the back of the shank. The piece measures 1.6 cm wide by 0.8 cm high, with a UK ring size M and a total weight of 3.4g. Items of this scale are worn as personal jewellery on the hand, functioning as a delicate dress ring for daily wear or special occasions. The yellow gold mount complements the deep blue hues of the sapphires and the brightness of the diamonds. The construction incorporates open framework cutouts along the top edge and engraved line details on the shoulders, while the metal exhibits a polished finish characteristic of period goldsmithing. The ring is suitable for integration into a modern jewellery collection.

FAQs

A boat ring, popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, features an elongated head shaped like the hull of a boat. Gemstones are typically set in a line along the centre, often supported by pierced or carved scrollwork along the sides of the setting.

Rings from the early George V period were commonly crafted in 18ct yellow gold or platinum. Settings frequently featured precious gemstones such as natural blue sapphires, rubies, or emeralds, flanked by small old-cut or rose-cut diamond accents.

Authentic British gold rings feature stamped hallmarks inside the band, including a crown and purity mark for gold grade (such as 18 for 18ct), an assay office mark (such as an anchor for Birmingham), and a specific date letter representing the year of manufacture.

An antique boat ring can be worn alone as a statement piece on the index or middle finger, or stacked alongside slim contemporary gold bands to create a textured, mixed-era aesthetic.

Clean the ring using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, paying attention to the spaces beneath the stones in the carved gallery. Avoid exposure to harsh household chemicals and store the piece separately in a fabric-lined box to protect soft gemstones from scratching.
