Victorian Old Cut Pinky Ring in 18 Carat Gold; Circa 1870

A breathtaking example of Victorian craftsmanship, this elegant ring is set with a single old cut diamond weighing just over 0.50 carats. The diamond is held securely in a traditional belcher setting — a style much loved in the 19th century for its ornate yet refined design.

The open nature of the belcher mount allows light to flood through the stone, enhancing the natural fire and sparkle of the hand-cut diamond. Each old cut is unique, cut by eye and hand in the 1800s, giving this gem a character and charm that modern cuts cannot replicate.

Looking within the setting we have echos of a historical engraving, most likely a sentimental motto or name. There are also traced of a floral motif engraving down each shoulder. Again, this has been worn and loved over the last 150 years so some of these finer details have been softened. 

Crafted in rich 18 carat gold, the ring has a timeless simplicity that makes it perfect to wear and enjoy, while its history and rarity set it apart as a jewel to be cherished. Whether worn as an engagement ring, a pinky ring, or simply as a treasured antique piece, it carries with it all the beauty of the Victorian era.
