Antique Australian 18ct Yellow Gold And Platinum Quarter Hoop Diamond Ring - Circa 1890-1910
Please note, boxes are for display only unless otherwise stated.
Introducing the sweetest, dainty and early Australian four stone diamond ring we’ve had the pleasure of offering.
Full of antique charm this ring boasts an early history dating to the late Victorian period, perhaps just in to the early Edwardian era, and was handcrafted here in Australia and bears the three-mark stamps indicative of such. Not all stamps or makers can be attributed, and unfortunately we are still researching this one.
Crated from 18ct gold and Platinum and designed as a quarter hoop diamond ring with four sultry Old Mine-cut diamonds, each six claw set in Platinum to individual coronet galleries, to simple swept up shoulders and a solid half round shank.
The diamonds have an antique charm all their own.. well matched Old Mine-cuts width a sultry colour (L-M) which twinkle like little stars in a night sky!
Perfect for wearing alone as it is quite beautiful, but will pair with all manner of other rings for a unique #ringstack of your choosing.
Take the opportunity to acquire an early piece of wearable antique Australian history, this one will be an asset to any collection!
