The elongated navette-shaped setting gives the ring an elegant period profile, while the darker sapphire provides a striking contrast against the softer sparkle of the antique diamonds.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe central faceted sapphire measures approximately 0.25ct and is held within a claw setting. Surrounding it is a closely set border of individually shaped old rose cut diamonds, each approximately 1mm across. Their irregular hand-cut facets create the softer, characterful sparkle associated with antique diamond jewellery, while the split shoulders lead neatly into the slender gold band.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPresented in very good antique condition with age-related wear consistent with its age. The sapphire and diamonds remain securely set and the openwork gallery beneath the cluster allows the stones to sit prominently above the finger.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEra:\u003cbr\u003e\nLate 19th century, c.1890\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHallmarks:\u003cbr\u003e\nAustro-Hungarian fox-head assay mark for 14ct gold, dating to the late 19th century.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\nRing Size: UK L 1\/2 \/ US 5.75\u003cbr\u003e\nSapphire: approximately 0.25ct \/ 5.3mm x 3mm\u003cbr\u003e\nRose cut diamonds: approximately 1mm each\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight:\u003cbr\u003e\n3.2 grams","brand":"thenorthc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57376809779580,"sku":"CN1535","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/3423\/1615\/files\/cn1535-photo-944-eb2bb60994e3.jpg?v=1788194700","url":"https:\/\/thenorthc.co.uk\/products\/antique-victorian-14ct-gold-sapphire-rose-cut-diamond-navette-ring-c1890-cn1535","provider":"TheNorthC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
