A luminous treasure from the late Victorian era, this elegant ring is set with five graduating cabochon cut chrysoberyls. Each glowing with that distinctive greenish golden light for which the stone is loved, and knick named cat's eye. Between each of the chrysoberyls nestle tiny rose cut diamonds, their delicate sparkle offering a beautiful contrast to the smooth, liquid sheen of the cabochons.
The stones are mounted in rich 18 carat yellow gold, and the craftsmanship continues beyond the setting. The sides reveal ornate scrolling galleries that are typical and adored of the era. Every curve and detail reflects the Victorian love for intricate, romantic design.
The combination of glowing chrysoberyl and twinkling rose cuts gives this piece a rare charm . Elegant yet full of life and colour.
