15K Early Victorian Diamond and Blue Enamel Star Ring
About the Item
This 15k gold early Victorian ring features a diamond encrusted star surrounded by navy blue enamel. Seven diamonds are bead set into a beautifully carved out star that is the focal point of the ring. The center diamond is an oblong shaped Old Mine Cut; the other six diamonds are Rose Cut. The deep blue enamel is in excellent condition and extends a third of the way around the band, culminating in a triangular point on each end. The ring has an organic shape that balloons out of the band to encase the star—the perfect compliment to the six points of the star. The metal around the diamonds has a nice patina that adds a mysterious element to the ring, while the antique diamonds and deep blue enamel make the ring moody and poetic. We date this ring to the 1850’s, making it a rare treasure in incredible condition for its age.
The ring is unmarked but acid tests as 15k gold. The ring contains approximately 1/4 of a carat of natural antique diamonds. The face of the ring measures 7/16” and the bottom of the band measures 1/8”. The ring weighs 3.25 grams.
Ring size 7.75; due to the enamel, we do not recommend resizing.

- 18K Gold Early Victorian Diamond Trilogy Ring with Blue Enamel DetailsLocated in Venice, CAThis 18k gold early Victorian ring features three Old Mind Cut diamonds encased in blue enamel square details. The diamonds are housed in a square, carved out setting in the 18k gold that creates a gorgeous contrast against the navy blue. The center square is larger, with a punched out format that raises it a layer above the rest of the ring. The deep blue enamel creates a ribbonlike detail on each end of the design. The diamonds are bead set, which enhances their sparkle and gives the visual illusion that they are square-shaped. At a larger size of 10.5, this makes a great unisex ring, ideal for a man or a woman’s middle finger. The ring contains approximately 1/3 of a carat of natural antique diamonds. The center diamond is 3.5 mm, and two side diamonds are 2.5 mm. All three diamonds are Old Mine Cut with chunky shape and large culets. The diamonds are bright and lively, H-I in color, SL2 in clarity. The ring is marked with 18CT and the maker’s mark of “G.TS”. The center square is 3/8” wide and the band tapers down to 3/16” on the bottom. The ring weighs 6.3 grams. Ring size 10.5; due to the enamel, we do not recommend resizing. This could make a beautiful wedding band but is also perfect for anyone who wants a treasured piece of the past. We currently have a women’s ring in our collection that makes a beautiful counterpart to this ring and could make a matching pair of wedding rings.

- 15k Gold Art Nouveau Plique-à-jour Diamond and Pearl NecklaceBy Mappin BrothersLocated in Venice, CAA classic Art Nouveau design, this 15k rose gold necklace features stunning plique-à-jour, Rose Cut diamonds, and beautiful pearls. The centerpiece of the necklace is articulated, hinged in two places so that the flower and pearl drops dangle freely. Three plique-à-jour leaves are translucent—the loveliest matte soft green that fades into subtle purple highlights, clearly done by a master. Each cell of the leaf is filled with plique, with a white metal (platinum or white gold) creating contrast in the center of the leaf. Inside are a channel of bead set Rose Cut diamonds. A flower is suspended from the leaves, with multi-tones of peach to pale yellow that glow against the gold, with a prong-set diamond as its piston. The design work loops over, turning the bail into a scrolling foliate. The 15k gold appears rosy, as it has an incredible patina that shimmers with various hues of pink, gold, and green. “Plique-à-jour” translates from French as “letting in daylight” and is a charming technique used in jewelry throughout the 20th century. To create this effect, colored, transparent enamel is suspended between gold backless cells to allow light to illuminate the piece with vibrant colors, similar to a stained glass window. The flower hangs from a 15k gold classic alternating link chain...Category
