1890s French Double Ring
Stunning antique ring dating from the late 19th century, circa 1890. It's French, comprising two solitaire rings joined at the back, one set with an old cut diamond, the other with a natural split pearl. Each stone is flanked by trefoil shoulders - like the clubs symbol - with a prominent knife edge band, the two stones slightly offset relative to one another. An unusual and particularly striking design, with French marks for 18ct gold and a beautiful stone pairing - the pearl displays gorgeous iridescent overtones, rich in blue/purple and orange.

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.
