Victorian 0.50ct Diamond Halo Ring, c.1880s

A classic design from the Victorian era, is this halo diamond ring. To the centre is a 0.50 carat old cut diamond, surrounded by a further nine smaller old cut diamonds, totalling to 0.90 carats. They all match in quality, being graded as G in colour and SI in clarity. Silver was the chosen metal to hold the diamonds in, a common trait of the 1880s. The remainder of the ring was created in 18ct yellow gold, with hand carved patterns at the top of the shoulders. The open patterned gallery sitting beneath the diamonds, allow plenty of light to flood through into the diamonds.
