There is something deeply confident about an antique belcher ring like this, the way the diamond sits low and secure, cradled by gold that feels sculpted rather than assembled. The unusually high cut diamond glows with a steady interior light, lively without being loud, its facets catching and releasing brilliance with every movement of the hand. Engraved shoulders curve gently toward the stone, adding quiet ornament and a sense of intention, as though the ring was made not to impress at a glance, but to be discovered slowly.

Handcrafted in England around 1920, this antique diamond belcher ring is made of solid 18 karat gold and is fully hallmarked with “18k,” a crown, “750,” and the maker’s mark “SFJ,” with the town mark and date letter softened by time. I've consulted with others on this diamond and no one really knows the name for this cut, it's very usual with a high top and interesting facets around the crown, due to it's unusual cut, it's difficult to estimate a carat weighs, but I am going with about 0.80 carats, it measures 5 by 5 by 4.9 millimeters. The ring measures 8 millimeters north to south, 18 millimeters across, and sits 5.8 millimeters off the finger, with a band width of 2.9 millimeters at the back. It weighs 5.9 grams and is a US size 7.

Belcher rings have a way of feeling eternal rather than antique, practical, elegant, and quietly romantic all at once. This antique English diamond ring settles effortlessly into daily life, becoming less an accessory and more a constant companion, worn not only for how it looks, but for how it feels to have something so beautifully made, and so enduring, on the hand.
