Antique 18ct Gold Boat Shaped Sapphire and Diamond Ring, Circa 1900

This antique 18ct yellow gold ring, crafted circa 1900, is a stunning example of Victorian craftsmanship.

The ring is set with a line of five beautifully matched sapphires, each displaying a rich, deep blue hue that exudes timeless elegance. On either side of the sapphires, seven old-cut diamonds are meticulously set, adding a brilliant contrast to the sapphires with their soft, sparkling white fire.

The combination of the deep blue sapphires and the sparkling diamonds creates a striking balance, with the sapphires’ rich colour complementing the diamonds’ brilliance beautifully.

The ornate shoulders of the ring are decorated with scroll detailing, adding an extra touch of intricate charm and enhancing the antique appeal of this piece.

This ring is designed in the distinctive "boat" style of antique jewellery, a term used to describe rings with an almost marquise-shaped body and a deep gallery. The shape and structure of the ring give it a solid, elegant appearance that mirrors the lines of a boat, giving rise to the name of this unique and captivating style.

With an approximate total sapphire weight of 0.80ct and a total diamond weight of 0.70ct, this ring would make a perfect statement ring or unique engagement ring, treasured for its beauty and historic charm for generations to come.
