Antique, Edwardian pearl & diamond half hoop ring
A timeless ring, this Edwardian ring features a half hoop of natural pearls and 0.08 carats of rose-cut diamonds set in 18ct yellow gold. With a hallmark dating back to 1912, it is a piece of history from a bygone era where pearls adorned so many delicate hands as symbol of purity. Beautifully carved on the side, the scrolling motif is a testament to the master jeweller whom lovingly made this ring over 100 years ago.
