Antique 18ct gold old cut Diamond & Sapphire gypsy style ring c1900's
This is a beautiful antique 18ct gold sapphire and diamond ring.
DETAILS
This stunning ring is a classic gypsy or boat shape design and probably dates from the late 1900's. This design was popular in the Victorian and Edwardian Era's and is a well loved and desirable style today!
The five stone claw setting has three bright and sparkling old cut diamonds and two gorgeous, mid blue oval cut sapphires.
The centre diamond is a transitional old round cut, somewhere between an old mine and a European cut measuring approx 0.40ct. It is very clean and white assessed to be VS1/2 clarity and F/H colour. The two side diamonds are old round cuts of a similar colour and clarity and approx 0.12 carat each.
The two oval cut sapphires are a mid to dark blue, what I would call Royal Air force blue. The measure approx 4.5mm x 3.5mm.
The sides of the gallery has a carved scroll design.
A very well made, beautiful ring with a nice presence on the hand!
