DESCRIPTION:
This is a rare and genuine Victorian era piece of fine jewelry.
Crafted in 18K solid rose gold, the ring features a lovely old cut oval-shaped diamond. It is foiled back as was often the case in the nineteenth century supposedly to enhance its brilliance. This beautifully cut diamond measures ~5cm in width and ~6.5cm in length. The cut on this natural gemstone is exceptional. The stone is enhanced by black enamel which forms the square-like base of the ring.
This is a very elegant and delicate looking ring. It is in excellent vintage condition. Of course, it shows some scratches commensurate with wear. Those signs of time make the ring more unique and are a testament to its history. Our images are not photoshopped. So, any spots, white or cloudy marks on the photo is glare and/or photographic obstructions.
