DATE: Victorian, 1870

Charming Victorian round cluster ring made in 1870. The head is furnished with concentric halos of rubies and pearls, centred around one single pearl. With gallery comprising exaggerated claw mounts, and elegant shoulder detailing, it's - as Alex's dad would put it - a magical miniature work of art. Crafted in 15 karat gold with clear Birmingham assay marks dating it to the year 1870.
