This gorgeous antique ring is crafted from rich 18ct yellow gold, the gemstones are gypsy / star set within the ring with hand carved patterns.  The central gemstone is an old cut diamond.  The red gemstones are synthetic ruby, which is authentic to the period. 

The scientific discovery of how to make man-made corundum (ruby or sapphire) with the same properties as the natural gemstone, was seen as a positive in this period, as jewellers could offer their customers gemstones with excellent colour and clarity. 

The ring has a lovely clear Birmingham hallmark, which allows us to date it to 1898 - towards the end of Queen Victoria's reign.  The ring is in excellent condition for its antique age.  It has been professionally cleaned and polished to perfection and fully checked and tested so you can buy with confidence.

The ring width measures 6.5mm across the front and 2.5mm at the back.

The ring is currently a size M.  If you require an alternative size, please contact our Brighton Lanes store.
