Victorian Old Mine Cut Diamond Cluster Ring

A stunning c. 1860 – 1880s Victorian era statement ring, generously set with a cluster of chunky old mine cut diamonds weighing approx. 0.8 – 1 ctw. The solid 15k gold shank and setting is of a rich yellow hue, and is augmented with geometric bands of black enamel at the shoulder and intricate engraved decorations on the raised gallery walls. Gorgeous and dramatic, this ring channels gothic-revival designs with the sleek linear geometry of its black enamel and beaded granulation around the ring face (which, along with the buttercup style setting, contributes to an overall look of sunburst glory).
