Toutes les enchères / Bijouterie & Joaillerie / Victorian Ring with Diamond & Pearls in Gold, Birmingham 1890


In the 1870s, a new method of setting gemstones emerged in Great Britain. It was originally called “gypsy setting” (now usually referred to as “flush setting”) and was characterized by the fact that it required no prongs or bezels. Instead, the stones or pearls were recessed so that they lay flush with the precious metal. The goldsmith would then carve small channels in various shapes around the stone to form tiny granules from the resulting shavings, which served as the actual setting. Since the resulting setting could not catch on anything, it was particularly comfortable to wear and quickly became all the rage. We can also admire this unique type of setting in the ring before us. Rose cut diamonds sparkle in the square-shaped center section of this gold band ring. A diamond shape with indented sides is engraved around the diamond. To the right and left, it is flanked by groups of three natural pearls set in recessed rectangles. Crossbars and grooves structure the ring shoulders and transition into the band. The ring is crafted from 15-karat gold, a typically British alloy that was used only between 1854 and 1932. The ring bears a Birmingham hallmark on the inside, indicating that it was submitted for inspection in 1890. The ring is likely the work of the goldsmiths Gilpin & Co. or George & Co., who used very similar marks. We discovered this beautiful ring in London.
