1912 Chequerboard Cluster Ring
An unusual carved half-hoop ring set with two rows of alternating natural sapphires and old cut diamonds arranged to form a chequerboard pattern. It dates from the Edwardian era, crafted in 18 carat gold with London hallmarks from 1912. The gallery is deeply carved with swirling scroll motifs, and the diamonds total around half a carat in weight.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
