Antique Victorian 18ct Yellow Gold Five Stone Old Cut Diamond Ring, Circa 1860

Description This exquisite antique five-stone diamond ring, dating to circa 1860, is a beautiful example of Victorian craftsmanship and timeless design. Set with five graduated old cut diamonds, with the largest stone positioned at the centre, the ring has an approximate total diamond weight of 1.00 carat. Each diamond is securely claw set, allowing light to pass through and enhance their natural sparkle. The intricately pierced gallery and decorative shoulders add delicate detail and character, reflecting the fine artistry of the period. Crafted in rich 18ct yellow gold, this piece offers both warmth and durability. Old cut diamonds were hand-cut to maximise brilliance under candlelight, featuring a softer, romantic sparkle with a high crown, small table, and larger facets compared to modern cuts. Their unique charm and individuality make them especially treasured in antique jewellery. Perfect as an antique diamond engagement ring or a wonderful addition to any fine jewellery collection, this ring combines history, elegance, and enduring beauty. Ring size: N Product code: 112×0113
