The ring has a substantial feel upon the hand, its captivating presence centred around an impressive celestial star. Beautifully created in rich 18 carat gold, the star radiates from a vibrant central turquoise, surrounded by graduating smaller turquoise cabochons.
At the tip of each golden point sits a sparkling old cut diamond, their soft, hand cut facets catching the light to create the impression of a star shimmering in the night sky. The contrast between the vivid turquoise and the gentle twinkle of the antique diamonds is both striking and unmistakably Victorian.
During the nineteenth century, celestial motifs became deeply fashionable, inspired by the wonders of the night sky and filled with symbolism. Stars were worn as emblems of hope and everlasting love.
The impressive star is now mounted upon a beautifully complementary 9 carat gold band with a warm rose gold hue. The combination creates a harmonious marriage allowing this extraordinary Victorian jewel to continue its story.
