A gorgeous stirrup-style ring that straddles the features of the recent Victorian era (yellow gold, low belcher-like setting) and the coming Art Deco trend toward symmetry and linear designs, this luscious piece is perfect for everyday wear. With a bright quarter-carat diamond and a broad gold band, this could serve double duty as an engagement ring and wedding band in one, pair with a band, or make a great stacking ring or stand-alone piece. Low profile and ultra comfortable, this ring is an absolute dream.

Good antique condition, with moderately visible retipping and pitting inside the band. c1900. Originally manufactured in the UK.
