Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1910s:
Chester date letter t alongside 18-carat gold mark: hallmarked in 1919.
Carved scroll boat setting: classic Edwardian five-stone ring design.
Softening to the high points of the gold: honest wear from handling.
Small hand-cut diamonds: cutting style used before modern round brilliants.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This Edwardian ring is an antique 18ct yellow gold boat setting piece made in 1919. The composition contains three natural cabochon opals and two old cut diamonds arranged horizontally in a polished gold band with scroll carved gallery details. The face of the ring measures 1.2 cm across and 6 mm wide, with the centre opal measuring 3.5 mm by 3 mm and the diamonds each measuring 1.5 mm to 2 mm. The object rests inside a red heart-shaped display box lined with cream satin upholstery and features a visible metallic hinge mechanism at the base. The gold band maintains a buttery yellow colour and displays crisp English hallmarks for Chester 1919 stamped on the inner shank. The surface shows light wear under magnification while the stones remain secure within their settings. This wearable item functions as a personal jewellery piece suitable for daily adornment or addition to a collection.

FAQs

A boat setting, also known as a navette mount, features an elongated, tapered shape resembling the hull of a vessel designed to set gemstones flush along the finger band.

Edwardian boat rings were commonly crafted in 18ct or 15ct yellow gold and set with natural gemstones such as opals, diamonds, sapphires, or rubies.

Authentic British pieces feature official assay marks stamped inside the band, including gold purity symbols, town marks such as the Chester acorn, and specific date letters.

An antique boat ring functions as an elegant focal dress ring on its own or paired alongside simple contemporary gold bands for a textured look.

Opals are porous and delicate, requiring protection from water, harsh chemicals, extreme temperature changes, and ultrasonic cleaners to maintain their surface polish.
