We are delighted to offer this magnificent antique Victorian enamel gold ring made c.1860-1880.
This ring exudes a regal and majestic air with its deep royal blue enamelling that contrasts its surrounding antique gold setting, leaving a sumptuous and lasting impression. Its substantial size and weight give a wonderful feel in the hand and upon wearing.
Upon closer inspection, the level of craftsmanship and intricacy can be fully appreciated. The oval curved surface has been decorated with a motif of blue enamel panels, half pearls and an old cut diamond in the centre.
In between each section, an area of gold has been left and hand-engraved with a star - a testament to the fabulous quality and craftsmanship of the Victorian era. One can imagine the amount of time and labour that would have gone into making a single ring and is exemplary of a 'no costs cut' piece of jewellery.
The ring's shank features a lovely floral and foliate decoration which has been further engraved and decorated.
Such a combination of fine goldsmithing, enamelling and engraving makes for an exceptionally stylish choice for antique jewellery lovers. Remarkably, we have found it to also look wonderful on a gentleman's hand owing to its bold size and colours, despite the fact that one may usually expect such designs to lean towards a lady's style.
Whether it be for wearing as a contrasting piece of jewellery among other pieces or as a bold single ring, such a piece is bound to be a conversation starter and a wonderful way to express your passion for fine jewellery and antiques.
A very special ring for a special individual or as an indulgent gift to oneself.
All of our jewellery comes with a complimentary hard shell gift box with a velvet interior.

Condition: good antique condition with no major issues or damage, some slight surface wear as expected with antiques of this age and also on the enamel surface, where the top layer on some areas has been chipped.
