DATE: Victorian, c.890

A gorgeous sapphire and diamond half hoop ring dating from the Victorian period, circa 1890. The five oval sapphires ( approx. 3.72ct total) graduate in size across the head and small rose cut diamonds fill the spaces between each stone. The sapphires display a fabulous colour, with hues of lighter blue which seem to glow from within. It's crafted in 18 karat yellow gold with an exaggerated carved gallery.
