A Late Victorian Diamond Twin Heart Ring

Description

A late Victorian diamond twin heart ring, the two large old European-cut diamonds estimated to weigh ¼ carat each, surrounded by small old European and rose-cut diamonds estimated to weigh a further total of ½ carats, all diamonds grain-set to a silver top and yellow gold mount, circa 1880, later hallmarked Sterling Silver and 18ct gold, London, the head measuring approximately 1.3cmx 1.4cm, finger size O, gross weight 4.2 grams.

A gorgeous and romantic late Victorian ring. This ring was made in around 1880 and features the twin heart motif that was popular during the Victorian era. The two hearts are set with glittering diamonds and held together by a diamond-set bow, which is set between a lovely split yellow gold band. The combination of yellow gold and diamonds is classic and beautiful, and the symbolism of this ring makes it a special and sentimental piece. This ring would make a perfect antique engagement ring.
