Antique 18ct Yellow Gold Sapphire And Diamond Quarter Hoop Ring - Hallmarked Birmingham 1914
Please note, boxes are for display only unless otherwise stated.
An elegant and popular in design ring, sometimes called a ‘bridge’ ring or a ‘quarter hoop’ ring, fully and crisply hallmarked for Birmingham 1914 and likely made by Henry Hyde & Sons or Warstone Terrace Birmingham.
Crafted from 18ct yellow gold and set with a central old European-cut diamond, two flanking stunning natural Ceylon type blue Sapphires, and a further OEC diamond to each end.
The Sapphires are lovely, antique oval cuts, beautifully faceted and exude a stunning vivid medium Ceylon blue we all desire.
Gently curving to meld comfortably on the finger in classic quarter hoop style, a strong and thick half round shank, its appealingly low rise and comfortable design enables this ring to be worn with ease and stacks perfectly with wedder type bands or classic full hoop eternity bands for an unique and individual stacking arrangement.
