This ring dates from the last years of the Victorian era. It is designed as a gold band ring that holds an old-cut diamond in the center. The diamond has an oval shape and is cut in the so-called "old mine cut". The ring itself has a surprisingly modern design. It dispenses with figurative details or engravings and presents the diamond in a graphic, almost technical design, as is sometimes found in the jewellery of the 1870s and 1880s. The piece of jewellery is a variation of the so-called "Belcher" ring - a ring shape that was particularly popular at the end of the 19th century. This type of ring is characterized by a flush setting in which the prongs are cut into the ring band. The stone is set into a recess so that its plate is flush with the gold surface. The name probably goes back to the London jeweler Thomas Belcher, who made this type of setting popular in the early 19th century. Our example was made around 1880. The ring is in very good condition and can be worn by both men and women.
