A Victorian gypsy-set ring centred with a sugarloaf cabochon sapphire, flanked by two old-cut diamonds. The stones are flush-set into the gold, creating a smooth, sculptural surface that is both bold and highly wearable.
Gypsy-set rings became particularly popular in the late 19th century, prized for their practical design and solid construction. The elevated sugarloaf cabochon enhances the sapphire’s depth of colour, while the old-cut diamonds provide a subtle contrast and gentle brilliance characteristic of the period.
Mounted in 18ct yellow gold.
French, circa 1890.
The ring is a UK size L.
