Antique Australian 15ct Rose Gold Sapphire Diamond Ring Circa 1900
.This%20fine%20example%20is%20simply%20stamped%20%E2%80%98MAC...){kind=link}
Crafted around the turn of the last century circa 1900 this charming and early example of a gypsy ring was crafted here in Australia by A. Macrow (and Sons).
This fine example is simply stamped ‘MACROW’ without the ‘Sons’ which, given the literature, would date this one to 1899 or early 1900 as they become A. Macrow and sons in 1900.
Crafted from 15ct rose gold and set in typical Gypsy style with a small old European cut diamond which is flanked by two beautiful medium blue natural oval faceted Sapphires. The Sapphires and Diamond are in excellent condition with no wear or abrasions, just lovely!
Of particular interest are the markings inside the band which reads ‘REAL STONES’ along with 'MACROW 15CT'. We rarely see the stamp, 'REAL STONES' stamped, it was used to differentiate the synthetic / paste stones used quite commonly in this era.
Low rise and comfortable, this early Australian antique ring ticks all our boxes and hope it ticks yours too!
