Diamonds are forever, and so is a heart! This adorable ring is made in yellow gold and has a pretty diamond set in a heart which has nice filigree detail round its edge. It has lightly marked lines that go down it for a slight textured effect. The hallmarks tell us the ring was made in London in the 1970s by the manufacturing jewellers FM. The heart including the filigree measures approximately 9.2 x 9.3mm. The band tapers to 1.3mm. This is a fun and pretty ring for daily wear.

Embossed gold band
Antique Victorian floral motif embossed 18ct gold band
We hunted high and low to find the most beautiful embossed band and this is what we found...
Struck in the brightest high carat yellow gold, an eternal floral pattern in high relief winds its way round this 6.2mm thick band. The carving is crisp and in lovely condition for its 130 years. It retains its original gilded patina, which is what makes the gold so buttery and glittering, even though the finish is rather matt, which we love. Flowers stood for love and romance; this was a wedding ring made to last an eternity, and would have been the prized possession of a Victorian lady. The ring has a slight D shape and rises by around 1.2mm, so really comfortable to wear.

Old cut diamond carved half hoop
Victorian old cut diamond 18ct gold carved half hoop ring circa 1890
A fine and substantial high carat gold ring, set with five glittering diamonds. It was likely the prized engagement ring of a Victorian lady, and must have been kept for best as it has so little wear after around 130 years. The round cut centre stone measures approximately 3.2mm, flanked by four graduated stones. Two of these are round cut and two are more of a cushion cut, with the prongs squeezed a little tighter to compensate. It is not particularly noticeable unless you are looking with a loupe. The bigger cushion cut measures around 2.2 x 2.7mm, while its round-cut counterpart is 3mm. The round cut outer diamond is 2.5, and the cushion cut one 2.1 x 2.4mm. Each diamond is cut the old way, with the tip of every culet cut off. Together their very approximate carat weight would be around .4. The setting is a splendid carved, scrolled mount, ornate with backholing and high claw settings that create a wonderful, clean line of these most desired of stones. The band is heavily made in unmarked yellow gold, and feels really comfortable on the hand. It is around 2.4mm. The top of the ring is 18mm across, with a width of 5.1mm and a rise of 4.5mm. This is a ring of timeless design and will give you polish and elelgance on any occasion.

Green paste half hoop ring
Victorian foiled green paste 15ct gold closed back half hoop ring
It’s a pleasure to offer for sale this super charming - and very collectable - antique stacking band. It presents a uniform row of five foil back hard glass stones of pleasing vivid green colour. Each measures around 3mm. They are brilliant cut and simulate real emeralds very well – but without the hefty price tag! Green paste of the 19th century is in itself relatively hard to find and rather sought after. (See p.97 of Georgian Jewellery, Dawes and Collings, for a wonderful look at Georgian era green paste jewellery.) The middle three stones are quite light and bright in colour, while each outer stone is a deeper moss green. This gives a nice variation and depth as we look upon the ring. The stones are all set closed back in beautiful buttery gold, and joined to a simple bifurcated band which tapers from 3.8mm at the shoulder to 2.85 at the underside. There is no date mark, merely a clear 15ct stamp, but as this composition of gold was only used from 1854 to 1932, at a guess we can date this ring from around the 1850s-60s from its style. We don't recommened getting the ring wet as it would cause the foils to deteriorate .
