About the Item

Astonishing Victorian ring starring in Eran Riklis' thriller 'Spider in the Web' alongside Sir Ben Kingsley and grande dame Monica Bellucci. Often before, we received the honour to be the supplier of props for international movie productions, but it's truly a premiere that one of our antique jewellery pieces plays the key role in the story line. A ring as the lead role, a real hero prop, are you intrigued yet? After keeping this famous jewel on hold during the production period for about one and a half year until the movie's world premiere at the end of August and the beginning of September, we can now finally reveal its splendour and character to all of you. The true eye-catcher of this Victorian ring is a 3.50crt oval cut emerald in an 18K yellow gold setting, vertically aligned with 2 old European cut diamonds. This starry centre is surrounded by 34 dazzling diamonds, which are set in silver and radiate over five gold shoulders on each side.

Country of origin: Although it does not carry any legible control marks we believe this to be of Belgian origin. Style: Victorian Style specifics: We consider this to be of the Romantic Victorian Period. This period covers the coronation of Victoria as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and her marriage to King Albert and their love, their devotion to their marriage and to their country are the sources of inspiration for this period. The jewels of this period are made of intricate carvings, special techniques where the enamel is subtly worked. These techniques allowed to give the jewel a certain opulence with less precious metal needed. As precious metals were really rare at that time. Highly favored (semi-) precious stones in this period are amethyst, coral, garnets, seed pearls and turquoises. The connotation is obviously sentimental, symbolic and romantic with reminiscent Gotic and/or Renaissance patterns and an abundant use of motifs like anchors, birds, branches, crosses, hearts and snakes. Period: ca. 1850 Material: 18k red gold and silver. (see also: The silver on gold technique) The silver on gold technique: This technique was very often used with jewelry containing diamonds because jewelers of that time believed that only a silver mounting could render the true beauty of a precious stone. They were also aware of the fact that silver jewelry often left black stains on clothing or skin, so they resolved the matter by coating the backs of the jewels in gold. Diamonds: Two old European cut diamonds with a total estimated weight of approx. 1.20 crt. (approximate color and clarity: H/I, si/i) Six old European cut diamonds with a total estimated weight of approx. 0.90 crt. (approximate color and clarity: H/I, si/i) 28 old brilliant cut diamonds with a total estimated weight of approx. 0.98 crt. (approximate color and clarity: G/H, vs/si) - Total diamond weight: approx. 3.08 crt. - All diamond weights, color grades and clarity are approximate since stones are not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. - Also we have all diamonds screened by the IJGC - lab for whether they are natural or synthetic, and all diamonds in this jewel are 100% guaranteed to be natural! Precious stones: One natural emerald with an estimated weight of approximately 3.50 crt. Birthstones: Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April and emerald for May. Hallmarks: No trace.
