A beautiful and wonderfully distinctive Victorian turquoise and seed pearl ring, fully hallmarked for Birmingham 1876.The elongated marquise-shaped face is set with two turquoise cabochons at its centre, each with its own subtly different shade of blue-green, surrounded by a border of lustrous seed pearls. Fine gold detailing frames the stones, while the split shoulders continue the elegant shape of the design.At 150 years old, this is a particularly lovely survivor from the Victorian period, with the combination of turquoise, seed pearls and warm antique gold giving it enormous character.The ring is crafted in 9ct gold and carries a clear set of British hallmarks dating it to 1876. There is evidence that the band has been resized during its long life, which is entirely consistent with a piece of this age and is visible in the photographs.Details:Victorian, dated 1876
