Victorian Turquoise Dome Ring
A stunning and rare ring from the Victorian period, c1870s. The ring is made from solid 18ct gold that has a mildly matte appearance. It has four wonderful pear shaped natural turquoise gemstones set to a point at the centre with gold balls to complete the look. The design was almost certainly influenced by India and its jewellery, as the Victorians actively engaged with the country during the rise of the British Raj.
The ring has such a beautiful presence on the hand and I feel you would be hard pushed to find another.
