This Victorian Ring is a treasure today as it was when it was made in 1863. The ring is hallmarked on the inside of the band and it tells it's story through those hallmarks.
The ring is made out of a rich, warm buttery 18K Yellow Gold and is set with one ruby and two old mine cut diamonds. The round ruby measures 2mm round and is estimated 0.07 cts. The two diamonds on either side are natural and original to the ring. The cut of the diamonds is old mine cuts.
Jewellery throughout the Victorian era remains prominent for its design and composition. The production of jewellery throughout the Victorian era was distinct, as it marked change and innovative practices through the use of new machinery. Machinery allowed fast production of jewellery and replaced work that could be done by an individual. The collection of jewellery created throughout the Victorian era was diverse, for this reason Victorian jewellery can be divided into three distinct periods: The Romantic period, the Grand period and the Aesthetic Period. Each period consists of key features. These features consisted of different sources of inspiration, different materials and prominent types of jewellery.
This ring would be from the Grand Period (1861 - 1885) a period that consisted of gold to create a "soft" look. And this period witnessed the emergence of women in business and politics and saw women demanding to study at universities, demanding the right to vote and to earn their own money.
All gemstones and diamonds are original to the ring and natural.
