Sapphire Series Episode 1: A Victorian Five Stone Sapphire and Diamond Ring

Some rings are special because they don't come along very often, and they sell quickly when they do. This Victorian five stone ring is one of them.

It is set in yellow gold on a beautifully carved half hoop. Three natural sapphires total approximately 1.55 carats, and between them sit two old mine cut diamonds of around one carat in total. Look at the colour in those sapphires. They are absolutely gorgeous, and the hand-carved gallery is a reminder of how much care went into everyday pieces in the 19th century.

Five stone half hoops were a typical ring of the period, made in all diamond or in combinations of diamond with sapphire, ruby or emerald. If you love Victorian jewellery, this is a classic example of the style at its best.

This ring is SKU 3736 and is available for £5,950. You can view it alongside the rest of our antique sapphire rings, or explore more antique five stone rings and Victorian jewellery.
