Victorian Five Stone Diamond Row Ring

A lovely Victorian era row ring, modeled in 18k gold, whose five, chunky old mine cut diamonds are held in a series of modified prongs, which are integral to the ring's decoratively pierced gallery. These unique hand-cut diamonds are slightly oval, with steep crown facets, small tables, and open culets— their large facets and irregular patterns throw light in a soft, soulful way. This ring has a broad flat shank, which is rounded and strap like at the cathedral shoulder; it tapers toward the base. We love the crown-like gallery here, the ring's smooth, buttery finish, and the variousness these wonderful old diamonds! This stacks admirably with other rings. It would make a striking wedding band. Materials 18k Gold Diamond Age c. 1880 Size US 7 3/4 This ring can be resized (down to US 5 3/4, and up to US 9).
