Why We Love It
This late Victorian ring is a beautiful study in contrast and craftsmanship. At the center sits a richly hued turquoise cabochon, its smooth, vibrant blue surface drawing the eye immediately. It's surrounded by a halo of bright, chunky old European cut diamonds, each one hand-cut and full of character. The diamonds are set in silver, a traditional choice of the era that enhances their brilliance, while the band is crafted in warm yellow gold- creating a striking mix of tone. The band tapers elegantly as it approaches the setting, allowing the cluster to take full focus. Elegant but not overly formal, this piece is full of personality and history.
