Victorian 5-Stone Gold Ring with Blue Sapphires & 2.10 ct Diamonds

Three sparkling old-cut diamonds of G colour adorn this ring, which was crafted in Great Britain in the final years of the Victorian era. The white gemstones are arranged in such a way that a large center stone weighing over one carat is flanked by two smaller half-carat diamonds. A dark blue natural sapphire is set between each of the three large diamonds. Eight small rose-cut diamonds complete the overall picture. The ring face, which is positioned horizontally across the finger, holds the precious gemstones with restrained prongs in 18-karat yellow gold. Rings like this have been popular since the late 19th century and have been made in a wide variety of material combinations – but we have never been able to offer a ring of this quality with gemstones of this size. In late Victorian England, the choice of stones was also based on symbolic considerations. Our ring speaks of fidelity and constancy, symbolized by the blue sapphires and diamonds: this is the so-called "gem lore", the language of gemstones, which was particularly well known in England during the Victorian era. The ring that we discovered for you in Vienna is very well preserved and beautifully crafted. The elegant curves that structure the surface of the gold are also pleasing to the eye when viewed from the side.
