A jewel steeped in history, this exquisite Victorian cluster ring dates to 1889 and is handcrafted in rich 18ct yellow gold. A cluster of seven old mine cut Diamonds, each hand-cut in the 19th century with charming irregularities that catch and scatter the light in a way modern cuts cannot replicate. The Diamonds are set in a white gold topped crown, typical of the era, creating a striking contrast against the warm golden band.
The shoulders are delicately engraved with foliate details, a testament to the fine craftsmanship of the Victorian jeweller who made it. Both romantic and enduring, this ring is as wearable today as it was over 130 years ago, an heirloom-worthy piece of history to treasure.
Collector’s Note: Fully hallmarked for 1889, this ring carries the assurance of authenticity and provenance that makes it especially desirable to collectors of Victorian jewellery. Dated examples from this period are increasingly scarce, making this piece not only a beautiful jewel but also an important part of 19th-century design heritage.
*Comes with a valuation from 2014 for $3,500
