Substantial 18ct flush-set old cut diamond Victorian ‘gypsy’ ring.c.1890.
I love how the diamond is almost buried in the gold, such a timeless and stylish design.
The Victorian jewellers were matchless in their skill in this form of setting and though many a modern setter aims to emulate the technique the difference is clear.
Even though the diamond is only around 20points it has a lively sparkle and the ring is a weighty 9.5grams.
Size 7.5.
