Victorian Turquoise & Old Cut Diamond Ring 18ct Gold Antique Trilogy Circa 1890

Spectacular Late Victorian 18ct Gold Turquoise & Diamond Ring A particularly beautiful late Victorian turquoise and diamond ring, finely crafted in 18 carat yellow gold and dating to circa 1890. The ring features a trilogy of gorgeous polished cabochon turquoises, the larger central stone flanked by two slightly smaller examples. Their wonderfully vivid sky-blue colour is exceptionally well matched, and the smooth domed cabochons create a striking contrast against the rich yellow gold. Set between the turquoises are four sparkling old-cut diamonds, arranged as two pairs. Their bright flashes of light provide an elegant counterpoint to the intense blue of the turquoise and are entirely in keeping with the character of this late 19th-century jewel. What makes the ring particularly appealing is its beautifully detailed Victorian setting. Beneath the gemstones is an ornate pierced gallery formed from scrolling gold work, which continues into the decorative shoulders. Viewed from the side, the craftsmanship is every bit as attractive as the gemstones themselves. The combination of turquoise, old-cut diamonds and warm 18ct gold is quintessentially Victorian, while the scale of the ring makes it very wearable today. It has considerable presence on the hand without being overly large. A high-quality and wonderfully decorative antique ring, equally suitable as a distinctive dress ring, collector's piece or an unusual antique engagement ring.
