A classic Victorian gypsy ring crafted in solid 18ct gold, flush-set with two old-cut diamonds flanked by three natural opals. The diamonds, each measuring approximately 3.5mm in diameter, display the characteristic faceting and soft sparkle typical of old-cut stones, while the opals show attractive flashes of blue with a gentle play of colour.
The smooth gold band has a well-balanced profile that subtly widens towards the top, allowing the stones to sit seamlessly within the gold—an iconic feature of late 19th-century gypsy ring design. Fully hallmarked and dated to 1890, this ring is a fine example of Victorian craftsmanship and understated elegance.
A wearable and timeless antique piece with strong period character.
