DATE: Victorian, c.1900

A fabulous antique ring, set with the most gorgeous 3 carat oval sapphire. It displays a lovely intense colour of blue, and is surrounded by chunky clusters of old cut diamonds. They rest at the north and south of the ring, while two smaller singular stones are set at either side. This creates an unusual cluster head, much like a satellite, and the diamond are set in platinum, while the band is crafted in rich 18k yellow gold. It dates from the Victorian period, circa 1900 with open backed settings, allowing the light to shine through the stones.
