Victorian Intaglio Bloodstone Signet Ring 18k Gold
$ 2,180.00
The Lion Rampant dates back to the 1200s as the symbol for Scotland and graces its flag to this day. It was adopted in 1603 (although not used officially until 1704) as part of the coat of arms for Great Britain and is used several times in the motif, including a lion rampant wearing a crown who holds the royal shield. When wandering the palaces of Scotland and England, you will encounter this crowned lion again and again in art and sculpture and architecture.
This antique Victorian intaglio ring was handcrafted in 18 karat gold in about 1860. The oval shaped bloodstone presents a seal that pictures a lion rampant in a shield below a coronet. The shoulders have scalloped engraving that have been worn silky soft over it's 160 or so years. The bloodstone measures 19.5 x 11.5 mm while the face of this ring measures 18.5 mm north to south and 17.4 mm across, it sits 3.7 mm off the finger and narrows to 4.2 mm at the back of the band. The ring is unmarked and has been professionally acid tested to verify it’s 18k content. It’s a size 8.25 and weighs 9.1 grams.

Edwardian 5 Stone Amethyst Ring 9k Gold
Sold Out - $ 680.00
One of the hidden truths about this profession that I am in is how kind and generous the people who buy and sell antique jewelry tend to be. I don't know why this is, but I am truly thankful for it every day, my customers, suppliers, contacts, they are all the sweetest people and many have become like family to me over the years. The reason that I mention this in this listing of this particular ring is that I purchased this ring while standing at the booth of a friend/supplier on Portobello Road. A man came up to her and had some items that he was looking to sell and my sweet friend gave me first dibs on everything that he had (in exchange I held her baby while she sold some cufflinks to her Japanese clients, using a calculator to overcome the language barrier, seems like I made out on both fronts!).
This gorgeous 5 stone amethyst ring is a rarity, I don’t often find this style of ring set with Amethysts and this one is a lovely, sparkling example. Five oval faceted amethyst make up the face of this ring, they graduated in size from 7.1x5.2 down to 3.4 x 3, they are closed backed so I can’t get a true depth or estimated carat weight for them. This ring is a little bit of an anomaly in that it has a full set of hallmarks for having been made in Birmingham, England of 9 carat gold, the date mark is worn, it might be an a for 1900 or a d for 1903, but both of these seem too late of a date for this ring, so it’s possible that I’m reading the mark wrong or that it was re-shanked and re-hallmarked. The ring measures 8 mm north to south and 18.4 mm across, it sits 3.8 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.8 mm and it weighs 1.4 grams. This ring is a size 8.25 and would be difficult to resize by more than a size or two.

Opal Diamond Gold Ring 3 Stone
$ 850.00
I was wandering New Bond Street, with an Everbean coffee in hand, and frosted gluten free coffee cake in the other. I was enjoying the early morning briskness as I waltzed in to one of my favorite hidden gems of an antique store. After trying on too many tweed jackets from the 70’s, and shopping the shoe section for far too long (the brown leather go-go boots were to die for), the owner pulled out a silk drawstring bag. Between your basic gold bands, a silver bauble or two, and a few loose garnets, was this stunner. I slipped it on and wore it for the next week. I had to test it out before selling it to you, I am a professional, after all.
This antique Edwardian ring was handcrafted in England around 1910. It showcases a lively display of three opals patterned with four diamonds set in 18 karat gold. Each of the opals are cabochon cut, with the center stone measuring 5.3 x 4.3 x 1.5 mm. The diamonds are each rose cuts and measure about 1 mm in diameter.

It bears the gold purity mark, “18” and the anchor mark indicating it was made in Birmingham, England.

A hidden gem, a needle in a haystack, that four-leaf clover in a field of daisies.

Antique Art Nouveau Sapphire and Diamond Ring, 18k Gold and Platinum c. 1900
$ 1,680.00
The morning was a bright one. Spring time in Paris, sunny and brisk. The air smelled sweet from all the trees and flowers in bloom, tinged with the smells of fresh coffee and sweet things baking in the shops along the street. I stopped into a cafe to pick up a cafe creme and a pain au chocolat, it was warm inside and slightly steamy. Then off to do a little shopping. Is there really any better combination than coffee, chocolate, and diamonds? Not that I know of! (Well, okay, diamonds go pretty well with champagne, too, but it was just a wee bit too early in the morning for that!).
This wonderfully sweet sapphire and diamond ring has a very definite Art Nouveau feel to it. Set in the center is a bright blue .6 carat round faceted natural sapphire, providing star support on either side of the sapphire are two lovely and lively old European cut diamonds, each of which weigh about .3 carats. The sides of this ring are accented with another 14 rose cut diamonds, all of the diamonds are set in platinum, the rest of the ring tests as 18 karat gold. This ring bears no marks, but I did purchase it in France and suspect that it is French in origin and lost its mark to resizing somewhere along the way, it dates to about 1900-1910. We've carefully acid tested it to verify the metal content. Overall, the ring measures 16.5 mm north to south, 12 mm across and sits 5 mm off the finger. It is currently a size 7.5 but could be resized a bit in either direction, it weighs 4.1 grams.
This gorgeous and sparkling ring would make an elegant and unusual engagement ring. It would go great with everything; jeans, cocktail dresses, even chocolate croissants!

Victorian Ruby Diamond Ring Triple Cluster 18k Gold

They drove down the coast with the top down. The road weaved around sparkling blue bays, hugging the steep coastline.

Victorian 5 Stone Diamond Ring 18k Gold
$ 660.00
It's all in the odd numbers, I guess. Those Victorians just loved their 3, 5 and 7 stone rings. Here is a wonderful example of a five stone ring, which was often referred to as a 'half hoop' ring or sometimes a "boat" ring because of the tapering shape. Crafted from warm 18 karat gold with beautifully hand engraved shoulders, done all in diamonds full of sparkle and fire, it is a glowing example of this type of ring!
Hand crafted in about 1890-1900, this ring was originally fully hallmarked, but while still partially visible, the remaining marks are too worn to read and some have been sized out altogether at some point. It does have a more modern 18 karat gold mark, likely from when the ring was re-sized, but it has been professionally acid tested for metal purity. The stones are all original and beautifully matched. I would confidently estimate the weight of the stones at about .25 carats in total. The ring measures 16.6 mm east to west and 6 mm north to south, sits 3.4 mm off the finger and weighs 3.3 grams. Currently it is a size 6.25 US, but it could be easily be re-sized up or down a bit.
This wonderful and sparkly Victorian diamond 5 stone ring would play nicely in a stack, and would certainly make a lovely wedding ring or anniversary band. When I have it on my finger, I find it simply impossible to take my eyes off of it!

Art Deco Opal Diamond Cluster Ring 18k Gold Platinum
$ 880.00
'All of Nature’s splendor seems to be reflected in the manifold opulence of fine Opals: fire and lightnings, all the colors of the rainbow and the soft shine of far seas. Its origins go back to a time long before our memory, to the ancient dream time of the Australian aborigines. It is reported in their legends that the creator came down to Earth on a rainbow, in order to bring the message of peace to all the humans. And at the very spot, where his foot touched the ground, the stones became alive and started sparkling in all the colors of the rainbow. That was the birth of the Opals.' - ICGA website
Opals always seem to me to be lit from within with their own internal flames. Flashes of red and yellow, orange, blue and green make this gorgeous opal and diamond ring a feast for the eyes!
This perfect opal and diamond cluster ring was hand crafted in 18 karat and platinum around 1930, in the heart of the Art Deco era. The star of the show is an oval, cabochon cut opal which reveals new colors and light from every angle. Bezel set in gold to accentuate it's beauty, this stunning gem measures 5.1 x 4.3 x 2.2 mm and weighs approximately .3 carats. It is surrounded by a halo of 8 old cut diamonds, weighing roughly .4 carats, which twinkle with your every move. Additionally, each shoulder is accented with a single rose cut diamond accented by platinum bright work. The ring weighs 2.2 grams, and was likely originally marked with an "18ct&Plat" mark but the 18ct part has been sized out at some point. It has however, been professionally acid tested to verify it's gold content, and tests as 18k. The top of the ring measures 9.6 mm north to south, 8.8 mm across, it sits 5 mm off the finger, and the band narrows to 1.9 mm at the back. This ring is a US size 5.

Art Deco Jade Diamond Ring 18k White Gold
$ 3,500.00
The allure and mystery of the Far East were a popular aesthetic during the Victorian Era and widely used in jewelry, especially in engravings. They became equally, if not more, popular during the Art Deco era and while the Aesthetic was different, the fascination was the same.
The remarkable Jade and diamond ring dates back to the roaring 20s, with its clean lines and subtle flash. Six split prongs hold a bright green cabochon of jade which measures 16.2x11.2x3.9 mm and weighs approximately 5.73 carats. The ring is 18 karat white gold and the shoulders are set with 6 early single cut diamonds.
This ring measures 17.3 mm north to south and 12 mm across at the face, it sits 4.5 mm of the hand and narrows to 1.4 mm at the back of the band. The ring was hand crafted around 1925, it is marked ’18ct’ and most likely was made in England, which is where I purchased it. This size 5.5 ring could be resized to suit. It weighs 2.8 grams.

Antique Edwardian Diamond Cluster Ring 18k Gold
$ 5,750.00
The sky was stunningly blue as they walked through fields covered in birds foot violets in all shades of purple. She lost her breath a bit on the steep uphill climb, but tried to cover it by stopping here and there along the trail to take a photo of a stunning flower or interesting tree. When they got to the top, every step became worthwhile as the cliff beneath them dropped off revealing the entire valley below them. The sun was getting close to the rim of the hills and the sky was going on sublime array of colors of orange, pink and gold. When he got down on one knee, she thought that they were sitting and so plopped down beside him. Only when she saw the sun catch the sparkle in his hand did she realize what was happening and pop back up onto her feet, her eyes going wide. The ring in his hand caught all the colors of the sunlight as he held it out, his laughter at her antics was all the proposal she needed. Yes, oh, yes, this man was her person, now and forever.
This fantastic diamond ring would make an excellent and unusual engagement or wedding band (or both all in one!). Hand crafted in London, England in 1905, this fully hallmarked ring is set in 18 kart gold, the old European cut diamonds add up to 23 in all and the total diamond weight is approximately 1.5 carats. The face of this ring measures 9.5 mm north to south and 18.2 mm across, it sits 5.1 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.3 mm at the back of the band. This size 6 ring weighs 3.6 grams. The ring is marked with the crown for England, the Leopard Head for London, the year date k for 1905, an ’18’ for the gold karat and it has a makers mark but I couldn’t quite make it out.
You’ve done the hard part, you’ve found your person, this ring is the easy part, it catches the eye and won’t let it go!

Antique Russian Red Spinel Diamond Cluster Ring 14k Gold
$ 8,750.00
King Henry V is pretty well known for winning the battle of Agincourt. “Once more unto the breach, Dear Friends”, ring a bell? Well, on one of my many trips to visit my friends the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London, I engaged a beefeater guard in lively discourse. He told me that the Black Prince’s Ruby was really a Spinel (which, of course, I already knew).
“Oh, really,”, I replied, trying to coax more information from him.
“And do you know why it’s set with a ruby?”, now he had me, that I did not know.
The guard proceeded to tell me a story I’d never heard, about how that same King, Henry V, had the spinel drilled through the center so that he could wear it like a bead on a cord, for luck during the fighting in France. He told me of how the stone was lost during the great battle and of how the King sent his entire army back to the battlefield to look for it. It took 3 weeks for them to find it, under a dead French soldier.
This spinel likely never spent 3 weeks under a dead Frenchman, but it has that same rich, dark, look and luster of the famous stone in the Crown Jewels. It is surrounded by a halo of fabulously bright old European cut diamonds which set the spinel to singing with a fiery glow. The rectangular, cushion cut spinel is a natural stone which measures 8.92 x 7.14 x 5.51 mm and weighs approximately 2.78 carats. It is surrounded by a ring of 12 old Mine cut diamonds which are 0.073-0.092 carats each and weigh about .98 carats in total and the shoulders are each set with a single cut diamond of .03 carats.
This ring was hand crafted in about 1880, most likely in Russia. It has hallmarks to the back of the band which are too worn to totally make out, but under a microscope I find them to be closest to Russian marks. Also, the ring tests as 14 karat gold, which is consistent with Russian jewelry at the time. The face of this ring measures 13.9 mm north to south and 6.6 mm wide and it sits 6 mm off the finger. This ring is a size 7.75 and weighs 3.4 grams, it could be resized to suit.
This ring has been appraised and graded by a GIA Graduate Gemologist who specializes in Antique and Estate jewelry, it has a replacement value of $13,500 USD. Please inquire if you’d like a full copy of the appraisal for review.

Antique Edwardian Opal Diamond Ring 18k Gold
Sold Out - $ 1,640.00
Unmistakably Dutch, the tall woman ordered her double espresso at Café Thijsseen off the Brouwersgracht in Amsterdam. As she reached for her warm caffeine fix, a flash like a summers day caught my eye, her hand showing a ring adorned in opals and diamonds. It was a simple transaction between the barista and this strangely elegant dutch woman. And yet, the play of light on her finger laid a mystery. How did this Edwardian gem come to her? I gazed and wondered as she walked off toward the east and the sun-drenched canal beyond, what adventures lay in her future and where that ring might find itself another 100 years or so. Before the thought could pass my lips and questions could be asked or answers uncovered, she strode away, entirely and blissfully unaware of her audience, and into the sun and warmth of a dreamy Amsterdam day.
This opal and diamond Edwardian gold ring was handcrafted in Birmingham, England, in 1908. It is a size 8 US and was made in a warm 18 karat yellow gold. It holds three large, perfectly matched cabochon opals accented by four sparkling rose cut diamonds. The larger center opal measures 7.1 x 4.7 x 1.9 mm and the two side opals measure 5.8 x 4.5 x 1.2 mm and 5.5 x 4 x 1.3 mm with a total approximate weight of .6 carats. The ring face measures 8.9 mm x 18 mm, sits 4.5 mm off the finger and the band width is 3.5 mm at the back. This elegant piece is fully hallmarked and bears the crown mark for England, the gold purity mark “18” for 18 karat gold, the anchor for Birmingham, the date letter, “i” for 1908, and a maker’s mark that reads, “F.H.L.”.
Full of a lifetime and more of adventures yet to come, let this Edwardian stunner give you the moment in the sun you deserve!

Victorian Sardonyx Memorial Ring 18k Gold In Memory Of
$ 1,400.00
Here’s a little tip for you from a buyer of old jewels. English hallmarks have gotten smaller over time. The assay marks that were used even fifty years ago were larger than they are now, and the hallmarks used a hundred years ago were bigger still. So, when I’m shopping for jewels in the markets of London, I always get a little thrill when I look at a piece of jewelry and see large hallmarks, because I know that it will have an early date!
This ring has just those kinds of big hallmarks, a big crown and queen to tell us it’s English, a big Anchor that tells us it was made in Birmingham, England’s jewelry making center in Victorian times and the letter N, which is the date code for the year 1862. It also has the mark ’18’ for 18 karat gold and a makers mark of ‘C.G.’. This hand crafted beauty is a fantastic memorial ring with an unusual shape, it is set with a smooth oval of sardonyx and the stone is surrounded by a ribbon of enamel in black that contains the phrase ‘In Memory Of’. This beautiful and very wearable ring is a size 8 and weighs 4.6 grams. The face of the ring measures 12.5 mm from north to south and 16.4 mm across, it sits 3.5 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.9 mm at the back of the band.

Victorian Turquoise Ring Navette Large 18k Gold
$ 2,280.00
Turquoise is a rather fascinating stone. Used in some of the oldest jewelry found on earth, it comes in an array of colors and patterns. Sometimes it shows a lovely crackled pattern, sometimes it is perfectly clear and bright, like a cloudless desert sky. The Victorians particularly revered these sky-blue beauties, mostly the stones came from Persia, and the Victorian cutters cut them to show as little matrix as possible and emphasize their amazing color.
This Victorian ring holds an elongated, navette shaped, cluster of Persian turquoise gems. The center stone is an oval cabochon of 8.3x5 mm, it is surrounded by 14 round cut cabochon gems and 2 pear shaped cabochons, a total of 17 stones. The ring is large in scale, a size 11 with a face that measures 24.2 mm north to south and 12.7 mm across, it sits 6 mm off the finger and narrows to 2.3 mm at the back of the band.

This hand crafted signet ring has shoulders that are made to look like armor plating, complete with rivets and overlapping details. The top of the ring is a locket or a secret compartment, made to hold?? I don’t know what? A secret? A poison? A lock of a lovers hair? I suspect it’s held many things over the years, as it was likely made in about 1870, and certainly made in England.
This 15 karat gold ring measures 14.2 mm north to south and 11.8 mm across at the top and sits 3 mm off the finger, it narrows to 2.8 mm at the back of the band. This size 6.5 ring weighs 3.8 grams. This ring is unmarked and has been carefully acid tested to determine gold content.

These Opals are spectacular. When I put this English 5 stone ring on my hand I noticed right away that these stunning cabochon cut gems had great fire and play of color; they seemed to continuously change from fiery reds, orange and gold to bright and flashing bold blues and greens. The most amazing thing though, is the way that these opals appear lit from within.

Antique 14k Gold Diamond Daisy Ring
$ 1,050.00
Old cut diamonds can definitely be dangerous. The more of them you see, the more of them you desire to own! Modern brilliant cut diamonds may be nice and sparkly and prized for their proportions and symmetry, but old European cuts like this one are more like individual works of art. Hand cut by master craftsmen who spent decades learning their craft, these cutters used no computers, no lasers; using only their eyes, their experience and their hands, often cutting with tools they had made themselves. The result is a diamond with a uniqueness of character that simply cannot be found in today's modern cut stones. This lovely Art Nouveau daisy ring showcases a stunning old European cut diamond center with large cut facets that cause it to flash with slow and stunning sparks of colorful fire, all surrounded by a halo of daisy petals in gold. A stone that was made over a century ago to be worn by candlelight, but still looks fantastic in any light today.
This ring is hallmarked as crafted in 14 karat yellow gold, the center diamond is a round old European cut with a large culet, that measures 3.4x3.4x2.2 mm and weighs approximately .20 carats. It weighs 2.0 grams and is currently a size 7 US, but could easily be re-sized to fit. The ring face measures 9.7 mm north to south and it sits 2.4 mm off the finger, it narrows to 1.2 mm at the back of the band. A romantic gift or special treat, this stunning treasure would look as pretty on the hand as the first flowers of spring or a glorious a summer’s day!

Antique Art Nouveau Sapphire Diamond Twist Ring 18k Gold
$ 1,200.00
Sapphires have been attributed to royalty since the beginning of written history. The color and rarity of the stone signified power and wealth. The idea that they came from the East, was intriguing, as it was a place branded as a treasure chest of gems and riches, most likely because of the traders selling to the West. During the Middle Ages, sapphires were thought to be the divine stone, and shield the wearer from harm and disease. The Edwardian era marked a time of luxury and indulgence. Sapphire rings with diamond accents, like this ring, were considered en vogue.
This antique Victorian sapphire and diamond gold ring was handcrafted in Birmingham, England around 1900. A sapphire stone sits at the center of six diamonds that twist around the face, all set in 18 karat gold. The beautiful blue sapphire measures 3.5 mm in diameter and 2.8 mm in depth, and weighs approximately .25 carats. Each of the diamonds are round and Old European cut, totaling an approximately weight of .20 carats. The ring face measures 7.4 x13.5 x 3.8 mm off the finger and the band width is 1.4 mm at the back. It has been fully hallmarked and bears the crown mark for England, the gold purity mark, “18”, and the anchor for Birmingham. This ring is a size 7.75 and weighs 2.6 grams.
Give her an engagement ring that she’ll gaze at for hours and show off for years. This sapphire and diamond beauty should do the trick.

Antique Victorian 18k Gold Ruby & Pearl 5 Stone Ring with Diamonds
$ 1,160.00
Like x's and o's or hearts and arrows, red and white just seem romantic together somehow. Natural, easy, and meant to be. Very complimentary, indeed!
I came across this ring while shopping the grounds at Newark, at an antiques market north of London. It seemed so cheery and bright on an otherwise bleak late winter day. This ring is hand made in 18 karat gold and is set with three oval faceted bright red rubies that add up to about .7 carats total and two 4.4 x 3.5 mm oval shaped creamy half pearls. The ring is also accented with 10 wonderfully lively rose cut diamonds, just to add a little glitter and up the quotient of joy! I'm certain that this ring has had a little facelift in the last 50 years or so, it shows signs of re-shanking (the back of the band has been replaced, probably it was too thin, likely it originally had hallmarks that were lost in this) and re-tipping (some of the prongs have been re-done to make the stones more secure), it was quite well done and as a result it is in excellent and quite wearable condition and has a wonderful hefty weight. The crown of this ring is truly lovely with all it's heavily engraved scrollwork. It weighs 3.8 grams and is a size 8.25. It could be re-sized somewhat, I'm always happy to check with my jeweler to see what's possible.
Almost certainly made in England around 1880, this is a gorgeous ring with a romantic feel to it, it would make a fantastic and unusual engagement or wedding ring.

$ 1,280.00
Your ring goes with springtime, it looks perfect in a wonderland of violets and dark purple tulips with robins in the sky.

It goes with humming in the breeze, enjoying the tree buds and looking forward to the evening, when the stars will come out and the grass will dew and your love will be home.
This antique cluster ring was hand crafted in England in 9 karat gold in about 1850. The center stone is a cushiony oval of light purple amethyst in a gold pinched bezel surrounded by a halo of black dot, closed backed, pastes set in silver. I think that the top of this ring started life as a brooch or button and has been transformed at some point into this stunning ring. I purchased it this way and the shank is worn enough to show that this wasn’t done any time recently. The ring measures 19.7 mm north to south and 18.5 mm across, it sits 7.2 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.9 mm at the back of the band. This ring is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested; it is a size 7.5 and weighs 6.4 grams.

Edwardian 5 Colored Diamond Ring 18k Gold .99cttw
$ 1,950.00
Sometimes a piece might take a little detour through my personal jewelry box. Only the ones I really love get to take this side trip. This ring was in there for awhile and on my finger more often than not. I stacked it with two others, all white diamonds top and bottom and this beautiful array of yellow-green stones in the center. They look different in different lights, sometimes almost as white as the others, but when the light hit them right their true color jumped out and was truly mesmerizing to the eyes.
This hand crafted ring is ready to move on to a new owner, it’s gotten a bit large on me and I don’t wear it as much. It’s set with five Old European cushion cut diamonds, the center three are perfectly color-matched in a bright yellow kissed with green, the outer two are lighter in color. The total diamond weight is .99 carats. This ring measures 4.6 mm north to south and 19.6 mm across, it sits 3.9 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.2 mm a the back of the band. The ring is a size 8.5 US and weighs 3.5 grams.

Victorian Old European Cut Diamond Solitaire Ring 18k Gold
$ 3,750.00
Some people are the get down on one knee type, but that wasn’t him, he wasn’t a once in a while romantic, not a flowers and candy guy. He was an everyday romantic, he started the wood stove on cold winter mornings and made sure her oil was changed on time. He didn’t do things just once in awhile, he showed his love everyday. He didn’t get down on one knee, he just cooked breakfast like he did every Saturday and placed the ring on her placemat. She giggled when she saw it, it was so him. He was cooking with his back to her, but she slipped it on, slipped her arms around him and whispered in his ear, “a thousand times, yes”.

Late Victorian 5 Sapphire Diamond Ring 18k Gold
$ 9,980.00
We drove the five hours to the Lake house in one go, the beauty of a hybrid and careful beverage planning. It was dark on the back roads and darker still when we pulled off the gravel in front of the cabin. When we stepped out of the car, I gasped; the stars in the moonless night sky seemed close enough to grab and pull down to play with. We walked in the dark to the lake and watched the reflections of billions of stars dancing on the surface and twinkling overhead. This ring reminds me of that night, that rich blue sky reflected in the lake, the pop of diamonds like stars in the night sky.

Victorian Era Tassie Seal Ring 14k Gold Intaglio Signet
$ 2,400.00
He put down the quill and picked up the wax, gently rotating it over the candle flame. This was the letter into which he had poured his heart, and he hoped against hope that it would soften her heart towards him. He was far away, fighting for King and country, but he thought of her constantly, recalling their witty rapport. He hoped her quick barbs were a cover for her affection for him, the way his were for her; he thought that they must be, as he’d often seen the laughter behind her eyes. In those laughing eyes he’d glimpsed the passion that brewed in her heart. He pressed his seal to the pool of hot wax and sealed the letter. And he hoped.
This antique Victorian era ring was handcrafted in Europe around 1880. It was made in 14 karat gold and is marked ‘585’. The oval seal is made of Tassie, a kind of early glass used in intaglio seals (named for its creator, James Tassie). It’s a translucent brownish-red color. It’s carved with the image of a Fleur-de-lis topped with a winged helmet and wreathed in swags of velvet. Tassies were generally made earlier than this ring and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Tassie was originally set into a Georgian fob and later reset into this ring. The Tassie measures 13.2x10.2 mm and the face of the ring is 17.5 mm north to south and 18.6 mm across, it sits 3.1 mm off the finger and narrows to 3.2 mm at the back of the band.

Early Victorian Citrine Gold Ring Foil Backed
$ 650.00
He knew the moment he saw it that it would be perfect for her; it was sunny, like her disposition. Surely, it had a story, he didn’t know it, but he was sure she’d be able to tell it. She loved old things and was forever imagining their histories, she said they were little windows back in time. He loved her for this, and so much more.
This fantastic hand crafted early Victorian ring is set with an oval faceted citrine of a rich, sunflower yellow. The stone is a bit abraded from age and wear, this ring was probably made around 1850 and its age does show a bit on it’s face. I was more than happy to forgive it this flaw, as it’s generally in very good condition, the foil backed stone has that extra glow. The ring is a size 6.5 and while it’s unmarked it tests as 9 karat gold. The ring measures 11 mm north to south at the face and tapers to 2 mm wide at the back of the band, it sits 4.1 mm off the finger and weighs 2 grams. The citrine measures 7.5x5.1 mm.
A note from Victoria: This ring is foil backed, it’s fine for regular wear, but care should be taken to keep it dry. Put it in a pocket when washing your hands. If the foil gets wet it can rust and cause discoloration.
