About the Item

An antique yellow gold, enamel, and diamond ring, comprising one large old mine cut diamond and blue enamel decoration, set in 18 karat yellow gold, to a band of 18 karat yellow gold. This striking ring is unlike any other ring I have come across, and is truly mesmerising. At the centre, is a large, old mine cut diamond, which is cushion in shape. The diamond is exquisitely sparkly, bright, white, and has good clarity. The diamond has plenty of character, with delicious, chunky facets, synonymous with old cut diamonds, that creates their unique sparkle. The diamond is held within a buttercup-like claw setting, known as a belcher setting, which allows plenty of light to filter through. The setting has been enamelled within, with cobalt blue enamel (a favourite in the Victorian era for its opulent colour) giving the setting of the ring a wonderful depth. Around the setting, cobalt blue enamel has been further applied in a striking and unusual design. The broad shoulders of the ring taper, revealing two kite shaped motifs, which would have originally held blue enamel, which has worn away with love and wear, however when the ring is on the finger, these sections cannot be seen. The substantial band is of plain, polished yellow gold, and the buttery gold feels soft to the touch. Aside from the enamel loss at the sides of the ring, and a small loss near to the setting, the ring is in good condition. Wear and tear acquiescent with age. The setting of the ring measures 10.5mm high, and 10mm wide. The band measures 3mm wide at the back. Total diamond weight, estimated: 0.65ct Gross weight: 6.48g Ring size: due to the width of the band, the ring fits like a UK – J US – 4.75 EU – 48.75 mm (actual size UK – K US – 5.25 EU – 50 mm) Hallmarks: tests as 18 karat gold, partial mark for ‘18’ remains. Date letter ‘E’, likely for Chester 1888

18K Gold Early Victorian Diamond Trilogy Ring with Blue Enamel Details
Located in Venice, CA
This 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.
