Edwardian Half Hoop 5 Stone Ruby Diamond Ring 18k Gold
$ 1,200.00
Three and five stone rings were quite popular in the late Victorian era and their popularity spilled over into Edwardian times. This fantastic turn of the (last) century ring made my heart go pitter-patter when I picked it up at the Portobello Road market early one Saturday morning. The rich, plummy color of the rubies and the sparkling bright diamonds combined to simply dazzle my eyes!
This wonderful 18 karat gold hand made ring features deeply carved scrolling shoulders and elegant lines. The old European cut center diamond measures 4.2 x 3.8 x 2.3 mm deep and weighs about .25 carats, the other two diamonds weigh about .1 carats for a total diamond weight of .45 carats. The two rich red rubies are about .25 carats each for a total weight of .5 carats. The ring is a size 9.5 and could be resized a little bit up or down, it weighs 4.2 grams. It is marked '18' indicating gold content, as well as bearing the hallmarks for having been crafted in Chester, England in the year 1909.
Sparkling Antique Victorian Diamond Sapphire Ring
$ 780.00
In a pretty city carriage with berry pink seats and a sweet horse with chestnut fur, the sky turned to twilight and the two of you sat huddled side by side in the chilled air. Of course, neither of you paid the least bit of attention to the temperature, because an hour ago, he asked for your hand and gifted you a ring with sparkling diamonds and glowing sapphires. You said nothing at first, your jaw just dropped and your gloved hands flew up to cover it. Then you laughed and giggled, slipped off a glove and held out your hand. “Yes” and he smiled wide and his eyes were happier than you’d ever seen them.
This fantastic late Victorian ring was hand crafted around 1890-1900. It is done all in 18 karat gold and is set with three sapphires as blue as the sky at twilight and four old cut diamonds sparkling like evening stars. The Sapphires add up to .35 carats and the ring measures 5 mm north to south and 12.5 mm across, it sits 3 mm off the finger. This ring was likely fully hallmarked at one time but has been resized and lost its marks, it is a size 5.5 and weighs 2.6 grams. It has been acid tested to verify gold content.
This ring would make a great addition to a stack or a wonderful gift for any occasion!

Edwardian Diamond Sapphire Target Ring 1.2 cttw
$ 8,200.00
They called it 'La Belle Époque', translated as ‘the Beautiful Era’, and it's as well they should have. From about 1871 to the beginning of World War I in 1914, peace and prosperity flourished throughout Europe and especially settled in France and England. The arts flourished, money flew, it was truly a golden age. This ring was made then, there, in that Paris of the early 20th century, amidst that optimism, that joie de vivre!
Completely hand crafted by a master of the art, this ring is a modified target type ring, set with row upon alternating row of glittering white diamonds and rich blue sapphires. The 17 diamonds add up to about 1.2 carats in total and the two rings of calibre cut sapphire are about .7 carats total. The ring is 18 karat gold in the back and the top stones are all set in platinum, this kind of 18 karat and platinum construction is very typical of the Belle Époque (which corresponds to the English Edwardian Era), as jewelers didn't really start using all platinum construction until the 1920's (with some exceptions). This ring has a fairly worn hallmark, but it is the eagles head assay mark which tells us that it is French and contains 18k gold. The ring is currently a size 7 and measures 20 mm north to south and 14.5 mm across, it sits 5 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.3 mm at the back of the band. Made in Paris, France around 1910.
This beautiful ring from the beautiful era would make a precious gift for any occasion or a stunning right hand ring that could be worn from blue-jeans to ball gowns!
