Super antique 15ct gold ruby and diamond three stone ring, set with a central old cut diamond flanked by a round cut ruby to each side, each stone held within a star shaped gypsy setting sunk into the gold band.
What is a gypsy setting?
A gypsy setting, also called a star setting, holds the stone flush within the metal itself rather than raised in claws, with the surrounding gold cut away in a star pattern around the stone. This Victorian technique gives excellent protection to the stones, making it a popular and hardwearing choice for rings intended for daily wear.
What does an 1876 hallmark and 15ct gold stamp tell you?
The date stamp confirms this ring as a genuine Victorian piece from 1876, while the 15ct standard was a gold fineness used in Britain until 1932.
