A superb Edwardian sapphire and diamond cluster ring, finely crafted in solid 18ct gold and dating to the early 20th century. The ring is centred by a striking oval-cut royal blue sapphire, weighing approximately 1.25 carats, notable for its rich, saturated colour, excellent transparency, and minimal zoning — an outstanding example for an antique gemstone.
Encircling the sapphire is a classic Edwardian cluster of eight old-cut diamonds, each measuring approximately 3.5mm, with a combined estimated weight of ~1.36 carats. These diamonds are well-matched, assessed as G colour and SI clarity, offering impressive brilliance and lively fire characteristic of early diamond cutting.
The shoulders are further adorned with six old-cut diamonds, graduating in size (2 × 2.6mm, 2 × 2.2mm, 2 × 1.8mm), contributing an additional ~0.30 carats. This elegant arrangement enhances the ring’s balance and visual presence while maintaining refined Edwardian proportions.
Weighing 4.8 grams, the ring is beautifully constructed with delicate claw settings and flowing shoulders typical of the Edwardian period. A timeless and highly wearable antique jewel, ideal as a statement piece or a distinctive engagement ring.
