Victorian 18ct Gold, Five Stone Diamond Carved Half Hoop Ring

250S
175 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

The Victorians knew what they were doing when they came up with this 18ct gold carved half hoop design. Five closely set graduated Old European cut diamonds in a single line across the finger, with tiny accent diamonds between, renders the metal setting invisible. It is, quite simply a line of sparkle. This ring is a lovely example, dating to around 1890. Each of the diamonds are bright and lively, and the scroll mount raises just a little above the finger, showing off the ring’s profile. As an engagement ring, it would certainly be difficult to say no to.
