Hungarian Diamond Trilogy Ring
An unusual Art Deco trilogy ring made in Hungary sometime between 1922 and 1937. The openworked head is built around three old cut diamond in domed bezel settings, with curves that sweep around the centre stone before overlapping and returning to the band. Crafted in 14 carat gold with silver settings.
Trilogy rings are believed to have originated in ancient Egypt, where they were thought to represent the three phases of the sun (rising, high noon, and setting) or the three stages of life (birth, life, and death). The Greeks and Romans also used three-stone rings to symbolise the past, present, and future, but they have been popular as engagement rings since the Victorian era as a way to signify the past present and future of a relationship and the romantic style has endured as a favourite to this day.

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.
