Step into the romance of the early Victorian era with this extraordinary seven-stone diamond ring—an absolute treasure for collectors and antique-jewelry lovers. This piece features a beautifully graduated line of diamonds totaling approximately 1.3 carats, with the largest center stone measuring around .45 carats.
What truly sets this ring apart is its remarkable mix of old mine and elongated old mine cuts, with several stones displaying characteristics wonderfully close to early Peruzzi-style cuts. The elongated center stone is especially captivating—full of character, life, and the hand-cut charm that defines diamonds of the 19th century.
The diamonds have a lovely warm tint, typical of the period, and they are exceptionally clean for their age, offering bright, lively sparkle that feels both historic and incredibly elegant. Each stone rests in a traditional silver collet setting, while the shank tests as 15K yellow gold, creating that iconic antique two-tone look beloved in early Victorian jewelry.
