To find out more about the gemstones in this ring:
Provenance
Original to c.1910, the Edwardian era, this impressively large ring features an extraordinary natural turquoise cabochon. Turquoise was a popular gemstone during the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian periods, prized for its bright blue hue and soft lustre.
Throughout the Victorian period and into the early 20th century, it was often seen in mourning jewels to commemorate lost loved ones, however, this isn't the case here it would seem. This large dress-ring would have certainly been a bold and striking ring to have worn in a society of rigid social codes.
Most turquoise came from what was then called Persia (modern day Iran) and to have such a large stone with such perfectly concentrated colour would have been rare. Most turquoise is found with streaks or veins of dark matrix material which it is formed within. On the bottom of the cabochon seen from underneath, you can see a brown irregular patch of matrix material rich a pleasing nod to the natural character and formation of the stone itself.
Claw-set in rose gold and surrounded by a halo cluster of single-cut diamonds also claw-set in open-back settings above a gallery with a pierced linear design which adds a decorative finesse to the ring to be enjoyed by the wearer and wearer alone.
The shoulders are open and lightly trumpet, featuring a diamond-shaped motif that terminates at ridged detail on either side before flowing through to a solid rose-gold shank.
