Antique sapphire and diamond ring from the 19th Century
Here is an antique ring that is over 130 years old, yet still has such a modern look that will so easily allow it to be worn along with other antique jewellery as well as modern and fit right in.
Dating from the late-Victorian era of the 1890’s, this ring was made in 18 carat yellow gold and is set with the most incredible natural blue sapphire and two European cut diamonds on each side.
Both the sapphire and diamonds are star set into the band allowing them to sit nice and low in the setting as well as having the added character of the star setting that works also as the beads to safely secure the stones.
The cushion cut sapphire is in a has such a beautiful pure blue colour as well as excellent transparency and really looks magnificent set into the yellow gold. Measuring 0.35 carats, the two European cut diamonds total 0.62 carats, and add a wonderful sparkle and elegance to the ring.
The top of the ring measures 7.9mm wide and tapers to 3.8mm wide at the back, and this is such a comfortable ring to wear all the time as well as on any finger where it will no doubt always be admired.
