Victorian 18ct Gold Turquoise Star Ring

19th century
For Sale by Corvidae Antique
Description

A chunky little Victorian 18-carat gold ring with vivid blue turquoises mounted in a star-shaped setting. The gold is a slightly rosy colour with a lovely shine.

Turquoise, in the language of Victorian sentimental jewellery, always represents the forget-me-not flower symbolising true love and loyalty. A romantic symbol used as a constant and powerful reminder of a love lost or perhaps of a sweetheart sent off to fight in the Crimean war.

The ring is indistinctly marked 18CT.

In excellent antique condition.

Size: K (UK), approx 5.25 (US). The face of the ring measures approx 9mm and it sits around 5mm above the finger.

Weight: 4.6g.

FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!

Apologies but we cannot ship to Germany, any orders from Germany will be cancelled and refunded.

Antique boxes pictured are not included unless specified; your item will come in a new box.

This Victorian 18-carat yellow gold ring takes the form of a cluster design with a central round panel set with turquoise cabochons forming an eight-pointed star motif. The piece displays a slightly rosy gold colour, vivid blue turquoises including one greenish stone on the outer edge, and a star-shaped setting with points radiating outward between the round stones. It measures 0.9 cm high, 0.9 cm wide, 0.5 cm deep. Sentimentality defines Victorian jewellery through romantic symbolisms such as the forget-me-not flower represented by turquoise, signifying true love and loyalty. The band has a chunky form with an indistinct 18CT mark. Wearers today use such rings as personal accessories on the hand for daily wear or special occasions.

FAQs

Victorian celestial jewellery emerged in the mid-to-late 19th century, featuring motifs such as stars, moons, and halos. These designs frequently incorporated turquoise, pearls, or diamonds set in rich yellow gold to convey romantic and symbolic meanings.

Craftsmen typically utilised high-carat yellow gold, such as 15ct or 18ct gold, paired with hand-cut natural turquoise cabochons. The stones were routinely secured in star-shaped grain settings or rub-over bezels with hand-finished metalwork.

Authenticity can be determined through period British hallmarks, hand-set gem mountings, and natural shade variations in the turquoise resulting from subtle age-related oxidisation. Modern reproductions usually display cast construction and perfectly uniform synthetic stones.

Victorian gemstone rings integrate smoothly into modern wardrobes as standalone statement pieces or stacked alongside minimalist contemporary gold bands. The vibrant blue stones create a balanced contrast when paired with modern neutral tailoring.

Because turquoise is a porous stone, it must be kept away from liquids, soaps, perfumes, and household chemicals to prevent colour alterations. Wipe the gold gently with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and avoid ultrasonic cleaning devices.
