{"product_id":"victorian-18ct-gold-five-stone-ring-10425","title":"Victorian 18ct Gold Five Stone Ring, Tourmaline, Ruby, Old-Cut Diamonds","description":"\u003cp\u003eA beautifully expressive Victorian five stone ring, crafted in rich 18 carat yellow gold and dating to around 1880. This elegant antique piece features a harmonious arrangement of pink and red gemstones, centred around a vivid raspberry-toned tourmaline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central stone is flanked by two complementary gemstones, including tourmaline and ruby, their subtle variation in tone adding depth and character to the design. Two sparkling old mine-cut diamonds are set delicately between the coloured stones, providing a gentle antique shimmer and enhancing the overall balance of the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGem testing confirms the presence of both tourmaline and ruby. This combination is entirely consistent with period craftsmanship, where stones were selected for their visual harmony and overall effect rather than strict uniformity of gemstone type. The result is a piece with a beautifully nuanced colour palette and a distinctly individual character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ornate carved gallery and warm gold setting are classic features of the Victorian era, lending the ring a timeless, romantic appeal. A characterful and authentic Victorian ring—perfect for those who appreciate antique jewellery with individuality, history, and a refined yet distinctive colour palette.\u003cbr\u003e\nDETAILS:\u003cbr\u003e\n18 carat yellow gold\u003cbr\u003e\nCentre stone: 3.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\nSide stones: 2.25mm\u003cbr\u003e\nDiamonds: approximately 1.5mm each (old mine cut)\u003cbr\u003e\nRing size: UK Q \/ US 8.25\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 2.7 grams\u003cbr\u003e\nFront width: 5mm, tapering to 2.7mm at the back\u003cbr\u003e\nHallmarks: stamped '18ct' with an additional partially obscured mark, likely a \"Victoria's head\" assay mark\u003cbr\u003e\nDate: Victorian, circa 1880\u003cbr\u003e\nCONDITION: In very, very good antique condition, with only light wear commensurate with age.
