DATE: Edwardian, c.1910

A petite antique oval cluster ring dating from the Edwardian era, circa 1910. It's set with a natural blue sapphire, surrounded by a halo of bright white diamonds. Very typically Edwardian in style, it features an 18 karat yellow gold band and four platinum claw settings securing the stones in place - the colour contrast created by the two colours of metal is gorgeous.
