Victorian Era OMC Diamond & Pearl Gypsy Star Band in 18k Gold
* * SOLD * *



A charming, turn-of-the-century gypsy band, modeled in 18k yellow gold, and set with three gems— two creamy, natural pearls and a small old mine cut diamond. These gems are each mounted in a beautifully hand-graved, star-shaped seat. The ring's shoulders are embellished with arrow-like, engraved details. The engraving itself is deep, bold, and masterful. This wide band tapers toward the base and bears a full series of English hallmarks (Birmingham, 1901). It would make an ideal wedding band, and it stacks admirably with other pieces.

Notes
Before pearls were being cultured, in vast numbers, they were among the rarest and most valuable gemstones. It is uncommon, now, to find beautifully-round, natural pearls mounted in jewelry. These soulful, antique pearls were made in nature, by an oyster, without the interference of men.
