DATE: Victorian, c.1890 (stones c.1820)

An incredible antique five-stone ring set with chunky old cut white paste gemstones. The mount features lightly scalloped claw settings, crafted in 18 karat gold. As has been traditional since time immemorial, the stones pre-date the mount (which was made circa 1890), likely having been salvaged from an older piece of jewellery and re-purposed into something more contemporary/stylish.
