This style of ring, known as the carved half-hoop, became hugely popular towards the end of the 19th century and is characterised by five gemstones set side by side above an ornately carved gallery. Due to their number of gemstones, most of these rings were broken up during the following century to be re-set into newer jewels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat this ring has survived in its original state is incredible. Set with five natural sapphires, cushion cut and graduated in size - all five stones have been perfectly matched in colour which is no easy feat, especially for stones with such a rich and intense royal-blue colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sapphires are all claw-set in open-back settings and interspersed with tiny rose-cut diamonds. The gallery features gold scrollwork, low in profile making the ring perfectly comfortable to wear everyday. The shoulders are carved with further scrolling motifs and engraved with a ridge that flows to the solid 18ct yellow gold band. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Natural Stones\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCentral Sapphire Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.85ct\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCentral Sapphire Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength 6mm; Width 5.9mm; Depth 3mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Sapphire Weight: \u003c\/strong\u003e2.75ct; Five cushion-cut sapphires.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Diamond Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.05ct; Eight rose-cut diamonds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Band\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal Composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e18ct yellow gold.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHallmarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marked with ‘18CT’ to indicate 18ct yellow gold. \u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-9547d6a1-7fff-7dbd-79e7-901955913489\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Ring Overall\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Head Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength 6.6mm; Width 22mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight of Setting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGeneral Wear \u0026amp; Condition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcellent: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eall stones are secure and well set, with no damage to the mount.
