Antique Victorian Opal Diamond Cluster Ring Dated 1886

We are delighted to offer this superb Victorian 18ct gold ruby and diamond navette ring made in Birmingham in 1886 by G.Bro. Distinctly Victorian and distinguished from contemporary pieces, this gorgeous piece presents one central ruby encompassed by a cluster of 16 old-cut diamonds that glisten wonderfully, particularly under natural lighting. The central ruby has an almost 'candy-like' pinkish-red hue that is so endearing. This colour creates a wonderful contrast to the surrounding diamonds which not only accentuates the glamour of the ring but brings your attention to the centre of the ring. Furthermore, the ring itself is wonderfully crafted in antique 18ct gold with fine engravings on the 'shoulders' of the ring and fine claw settings.
