A finely detailed Victorian diamond ring dated precisely to 1892, crafted in 18ct gold and set with fifteen old mine cut diamonds across a slender marquise / navette-shaped face. The diamonds are packed closely together from tip to tip, creating a bright, continuous surface of antique sparkle within the elongated setting.
The larger central diamond anchors the design, surrounded by fourteen smaller hand-cut stones whose softly irregular facets give the cluster its characteristic Victorian character. Fine split shoulders support the navette face and lead into the slim gold band, keeping the setting light and elegant on the hand.
The centre diamond measures 1.8mm, with fourteen surrounding diamonds measuring 1.4mm each, giving an estimated total diamond weight of 0.18ct. Presented in very good antique condition with age-related wear consistent with its age.
