Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1910s:
Old European cut diamonds: hand-fashioned proportions predating modern precision round brilliant cutting.
Pierced coronet gallery: early twentieth-century openwork design allowing light beneath the setting.
Subtle smoothing on the claw tips: many decades of gentle handling.

This Edwardian cluster ring dates from 1910 and displays a rich, velvety blue central sapphire weighing approximately 3.50 carat. Surrounding the round cut sapphire is a halo of 13 old European cut diamonds with a total approximate weight of 1.30 carat, mounted in a handmade coronet cluster. The metal is a rich, warm 20k yellow gold, forming a smooth shank that attaches to the circular head of the ring. The sapphire shows slight inclusions and measures approximately 9.0 by 9.3mm, while the entire head measures approximately 15.5mm in diameter. In a contemporary home, a piece of fine jewellery such as this is worn on the hand as a personal accessory for formal occasions, daily wear, or celebratory events. The combination of royal blue and sparkling white diamonds set in yellow gold creates a classic Edwardian aesthetic that suits traditional or vintage jewellery collections.

FAQs

Edwardian cluster rings, created between 1901 and 1915, feature a central coloured gemstone surrounded by a border of diamonds arranged in a flower or target motif.

Rings from this period frequently utilised high-carat yellow gold or platinum mountings, securing natural central gemstones alongside hand-faceted old cut diamonds.

Authentic Edwardian pieces feature hand-cut diamonds, claw settings, period hallmarks, and minor structural variations characteristic of hand craftsmanship.

Antique cluster rings serve as individual statement pieces for formal wear or can be combined with plain modern gold bands for daily wear.

Clean gently using warm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft brush, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals that could loosen stone settings.
