Antique Victorian 9ct Yellow Gold Black Onyx Ring Set with a Single Diamond

19th century
Description

A beautiful and rare antique late 19th-century ring crafted in 9ct yellow gold with a platinum illusion-set single diamond. The ring features an elegant rectangular (emerald-shaped) black onyx panel, centrally set with a sparkling eight-cut diamond (approx. 0.03ct) in a platinum mount.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Victorian onyx and diamond rings typically feature dark carved gemstones framed by yellow gold, often associated with mourning etiquette or formal late-19th-century fashion.

These rings were frequently crafted from 9ct or 15ct yellow gold, set with hand-cut black onyx plaques and star-set or grain-set small accent diamonds.

Authentic pieces often display British hallmarks, hand-cut stone settings, clipped corners on rectangular plaques, and period-specific gold patina.

A Victorian onyx plaque ring serves as a striking unisex accent piece, pairing effectively with minimal modern tailoring or layered alongside simple gold bands.

Clean surfaces gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or prolonged water submersion.
