Victorian 18ct Gold Marquise Ring Set with Old Mine Cut Diamonds

457U
240 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

This is a bright and very pretty 18ct gold ring. It is marquise shaped and has been set with approximately just under two carats of evenly matched bright white old mine cut diamonds.  Its shape meets in pointed ends, resembling the hull of a ship.  This cut is also known as the Navette cut (meaning “little boat” in French). This design became particularly popular in the late 1800s and variations have been designed ever since. Perhaps it came about as jewellers had not yet mastered the marquise cut which we see more commonly in later jewellery. This style of ring is very flattering on the finger and can either be worn as a dress ring or an unusual engagement ring

Ollys Pick

The diamonds are a really high colour and very well matched in this beautiful ring
