Victorian 5 Stone Diamond Sapphire Ring
A diamond is, at its essence, just carbon, very specific and well-organized carbon. It’s pressurized and heated for a billion years, buried hundreds of miles beneath the grassy meadows and birch tree forests of the Earth’s surface. A deep-source volcanic eruption tears a piece of the mantle, where this carbon sits, and carries it toward the surface. It cools. We discover it, we polish it, we cut it. Then it deservingly gets adorned onto a sapphire and gold ring that somebody very lucky will wear while sipping Beaujolais as these stones, full of history and rareness, glisten in the daylight. This fabulous Victorian sapphire and diamond ring was handcrafted in England around 1900. It features three old European cut diamonds patterned with two square sapphires. The glimmering diamonds weigh approximately 1.63 total carats and the sapphires weigh approximately 1.12 total carats. The band width narrows to 3 mm at the back. This ring bears no marks and has been acid tested. It’s a size 9.2
