You can truly feel the age and history in this remarkable ring. Dating to 1885 Victorian England and filled with detail this would make an amazing addition to any jewellery lovers collection!

At the centre of the ring we have a perfect miniature shield panel onto which has been designed a harp. Created with line engraving it has been further adorned with six wonderful old cut diamonds. All cut by hand they glisten and sparkle in the light. Harps are a symbolic instrument historically and in the Victorian era. Here this is most likely a mounting ring, with the harp being a symbol of heaven and hope for lost loved one.

There is the addition of a tiny seed pearl, a little worn making them subtle, on each shoulder. The entire ring is created from the finest 18 carat gold giving this antique ring a rich buttery glow.

Dating to over 1885 this is a darling and historical item of jewellery. Lustrous and decant this would have be been a ring worn by a lady of high status in the Victorian era.
