Description

Once in a while a ring of a lifetime appears……a seriously special ring, steeped in English history.

The year was 1874, Winston Churchill was born, the son of a British Lord and an American socialite. Maybe Lord Churchill give his wife this ring to celebrate the birth of his son? Probably not, but a girl can dream! And since jewellery doesn’t tell any tales, there’s no way we will ever truly know.

What we do know for sure is that this gorgeous ring was hand crafted in Birmingham, England in 1874. We also know that it is set with 0.50 carats of bright and sparkling old mined cut Diamonds that glitter and sparkle with your every move.

The shank is crafted in 18ct  Gold and is marked inside the band with the crown (England), the leopards head (London), the number ’18’ (carat) and the letter t (1874). It has lovely carved shoulders and a thick shank. 

Dating from the mid 1800's through the 1900's, old mine hand cut Diamonds are most often found in Georgian and Victorian jewellery.

Primarily hand cut with the aid of early machines, they are a favorite stone for those who love stones with deeply individual character, as each stone is hand cut and uniquely beautiful.

An old mine cut diamond evokes the past, when Diamonds were measured by eye and cut by hand, so this historic Diamond cut is a great choice if you're looking for an engagement ring with antique or vintage qualities.

Early diamond cutters (today known as bruters) shaped old mine cut Diamonds by following the octahedral shape of the diamond crystal, laboriously grinding two Diamonds together to achieve the desired shape, and a diamond polisher then polished the facets.

This fabulous Diamond cluster ring would make a wonderful ring for any occasion, from the most important to ‘just because’!

Rings of this type are highly collectable and are sought after worldwide.

A unique and captivating ring which looks fabulous when worn.
