Antique Victorian 18ct Yellow Gold Half Hoop Aquamarine And Diamond Ring - Birmingham 1892
Please note, boxes are for display only unless otherwise stated.
A strikingly pretty ring dating to the Late Victorian era and stamped with the date letter for assay in Birmingham 1892.
Crafted from 18ct yellow gold and set, in graduated style, with five oval faceted natural Aquamarines, and accented with eight tiny rose-cut accent diamonds to the top of each Aquamarine.
The Aquamarines are in ‘closed backed’ settings, the diamonds are not closed backed letting the light shimmer through.
Carved scroll work to the shoulders accents the timeless appeal of this already charming antique ring and its solid and thick half round shank completes the picture.
Designed in slightly curved half hoop style and therefore exceeding comfortable on the finger, this ring is also pleasantly low rise - 3.95mm - making it ideal as an everyday ring.
Subtle and shimmering with an ethereal glow, a piece that truly captures the beauty of the Victorian era!
