Antique diamond engagement ring set with mine cut diamonds
This antique diamond engagement ring not only has all the charm and character of being hand made over 150 years ago, but is set with the earlier mine cut diamonds that are so sought after today. Sometimes these antique mine cut diamonds are also called "cushion cut" diamonds due to the somewhat cushion shape that they have, and they were the first truly brilliant cut diamond and these ones sparkle so beautifully. With the three diamonds having a total weight of 1.05 carats, the way the diamonds are supported by the claws gives the diamonds not only the maximum amount of light to enter and dance through each diamond, but the setting also adds to the character of the ring so beautifully. With a lovely band that tapers in width, this is such an elegant example of a genuine antique diamond engagement ring from the Victorian era. Stock# ES9160 Circa: 1870 $4,400

Antique hand engraved buckle ring made in 18 carat gold in 1908

18 carat gold antique hardstone cameo ring made in 1899
Cameos have traditionally been carved from shell which is a relatively soft material that allows for some magnificent cameos to be produced, and the finest of all the cameos have been carved from much harder material from the cryptocrystalline quartz family such as sardonyx, onyx and carnelian such as in this very beautiful antique cameo that was made in Birmingham in 1899. The oval cameo is set in a very elegant 18 carat setting and depicts a young maiden playing a lyre with such a demure and feminine look to her. The detail is just wonderful and as hardstone cameos are substantially more difficult to carve than shells, this was only left to the very best carvers. The frame around the cameo measures 17.8mm by 9.7mm and the ring sits perfectly on the finger where it accentuates the hand so well. Perfect for any finger, this antique cameo ring is so elegant and refined, and typical of the gorgeous late Victorian era. Stock# ES9178 Hallmarked: Birmingham 1899 $1,650
