Victorian Emerald Marquise Ring
A verdant green emerald sits at the centre of this exquisite antique marquise ring, set within a gold head studded with glistening rose cut diamonds, the edge of which is scalloped and uniquely marked by a line of black enamel. The shoulders are carved into an ornate balustrade design and the whole ring is crafted in solid 18 carat yellow gold. There are a lot of elements at play here, but they somehow work together effortlessly to create a striking yet elegant ring. Dating from the mid Victorian era, circa 1860.

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.
