This beautiful and delicate ring was converted from a late Victorian era stick pin. The pin is not quite yellow and not quite rose gold, the ring band is made from recycled 14k rose gold, together they look gorgeous.Victorian and Edwardian stick pins are all amazing tiny works of art, back in the day Victorian jewelers would treat these stick pins as "advertisements" for what they could do. Stick pins were somewhat affordable items used as tie or cravat pins and were mostly bought by gentlemen. However the Victorian jeweler knew that if the lady in that gentleman's life would be impressed by the beauty and detail of a tiny item like a tie pin, then she would trust said jeweler to make a more ostentatious piece of jewellery for her.Stick pins have a long history of being converted, collected and coveted, even back in the Victorian and Edwardian days stick pins that men grew bored of were often converted into amazing brooches and charm bracelets with many pins being made into one impressive piece. These days these antique pins are very rare hence it's more affordable to convert them into rings so we can once again enjoy them as a wearable piece of jewellery.This particular ring was made from a wish bone pin, that makes this wish bone extra special is that it features a trefoil (a clover like plant) set with a genuine diamond, sapphire and ruby. Diamonds are thought to represent constancy, sapphires fidelity and rubies passion. With such symbolism as a lucky clover, a wishbone and gemstones like these this would a stunning engagement or promise ring.Materials: 14k gold, genuine diamond, sapphire, ruby.Era: Wishbone is late Victorian circa 1900, band is newly handmade.Condition: Excellent antique and new handmade.Size: 8 US, re-sizing is possible, cost of sizing is low, please contact me about size needed PRIOR to making your purchase.
