Victorian Novelty Jokey Cap in Diamond & Ruby; Circa 1890

One-of-a-kind, utterly whimsical, and steeped in charm. This Victorian novelty ring is as rare as they come. Shaped as a miniature jockey’s cap, its curved form sparkles with rose cut diamonds and rich rubies, each stone set with exquisite attention to detail. It was certainly made to catch the eye. 

Novelty rings from the Victorian era are already scarce; but in ring form this is even harder to find. Almost never seen. This piece feels plucked from a cabinet of curiosities, a sparkling wink from the past meant for the bold, the curious, and the playful-hearted.

Created from 15 carat gold the entire ring is encrusted in rose cut stones. Most likely a commission piece its an amazing relic from history.
