Victorian Gold, Emerald, Ruby And Seed Pearl Ring

A pretty little Victorian ring, designed as a central rectangular cut emerald within a cluster of four seed pearls, flanked by two oval cut rubies. The design is subtle but charming, a nice ring for everyday wear.

Like many Victorian rings this piece bears no hallmarks, but in my opinion it would test as 18ct gold. The ring probably dates from the earlier part of the Victorian period, as closed back claw collet settings are rarely seen in rings from the last few decades of the 19th century.

UK size J, US size 5.

Weight - 1.5g

Condition:

The ring is good condition, with typical minor signs of wear commensurate with age and use. Gemstones are bright, seed pearls well matched.
