- Description
A beautiful and rare antique Victorian 14ct gold blue enamel and turquoise ring. The ring has an unusual open design and features ten turquoise cabochons crafted in 14ct yellow gold. The open design is created by the space between the central line and the surrounding turquoise highlighted with a stunning blue enamel making the piece even more delightful and unique. Each 'shoulder' of the ring also has a matching open design. The ring is hallmarked inside of the shank. Tested for 14ct gold.
It's worth noting that turquoise is known to be the birthstone of December. In the Victorian era, the gemstone became symbolic of true love. Turquoise is one of Queen Victoria's favourite gemstones.
