Victorian Sapphire & Diamond 18ct Gold Five-Stone Carved Half Hoop Ring

A wonderful Victorian sapphire and diamond five-stone ring, dating to the late 19th century. At its centre sits a bright 0.45-carat old European-cut diamond, flanked by two royal-blue natural sapphires and a further pair of sparkling diamonds. Delicate rose-cut diamonds are set between each principal stone, adding subtle flashes of light across the band. The carved half hoop gallery display exceptional Victorian craftsmanship, with intricate open-pierced scrolling detail. Combining rich blue sapphire with radiant white diamonds, this timeless ring offers lovely character and would make a distinctive engagement ring or a treasured addition to any antique jewellery collection.
