Description

Step back into early 19th-century England with this remarkable Edwardian-era Sapphire and Diamond gypsy ring.

The head of the ring is flush set to the centre a single old mined hand cut Diamond and is flanked by two Royal Blue round cut natural Sapphires that displays a mesmerising velvet-blue hue.

The gemstones are securely mounted in hand-engraved star-cut settings and the shank is crafted in thick gauge 18ct Gold that has aged beautifully over time.

The inside of the shank bears a complete set of British hallmarks for 18ct Gold, Birmingham 1905. These hallmarks add to the ring's authenticity, value and charm.

Edwardian gypsy rings, with their distinctive flush-set gemstones, offer both elegance and practicality. The streamlined setting, where gemstones sit level with the band, ensures a smooth finish, minimizing the chances of snagging on clothing or accidental damage in daily wear.

In the Victorian and Edwardian eras, jewellery often conveyed messages of love, remembrance, or mourning. Gypsy rings were no exception. The choice of gemstones and their arrangements carried various connotations - a Sapphire for loyalty, and a Diamond for enduring strength.

A wonderful piece for special occasions or for glamorous every day wear.  Rings of this type are highly collectable and are sought after worldwide.

Fine, understated collectibles steeped in English history, for a true connoisseur.

Looks fabulous when worn.
