Mid-Victorian Emerald & Pearl Ring
Charming antique cluster ring dating from the mid Victorian era; English hallmarks warrant the gold at 15 carat, and tell us the precise year it was made - 1863. The head resembles a flower with natural pearl 'petals' around an emerald in the middle. Two more emeralds flank the head, and the band features intricate engraving all the way around the outer surface with elegant scrolled openwork at the shoulders. A concealed locket compartment, hidden behind the head, remains complete with its original glass and fittings.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved and often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff or scrape is 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.
