An Australian 18ct gold five stone diamond ring bearing hallmarks for Robert Robertson Collins Street Melbourne.

Graduated diamonds, claw set, with an an ornate scrolling under-gallery to upswept scrolled shoulders to a half round shank.

The diamonds are old mine cut, however one has been replaced during its history with a brilliant cut diamond with claws which are identical to the original, this does not detract from the beauty and history of this ring.

Beautifully crafted from 18ct gold and bearing not only Robert Roberstons hallmark of ‘RR’ / 18 / and a ‘Thistle’ but also the name of the jewellery store that would have been in partnership with Robertson and retailed this particular ring, their name was ‘Farhood’.

This ring is an early example of Australian history and is still as wearable today as it was 130 years ago.

History of Robert Roberston
Robert Robertson was born in Cupar, Fife in 1820 and migrated to Australia in 1852, starting a jewellery business in Collins Street in 1854, and later moved to Little Collins Street. A silver trowel with the same hallmark as this ring, thought to be by Robertson, was in the 1988 Kozminsky Bicentennial Exhibition, Australian Silver Gold & Jewellery. Given Robertson's Scottish background, and copying Glasgow's hallmarks of the Thistle and Lion Rampant, adds weight to the attribution of this mark to Robert Robertson.
