This beautifully preserved Antique Ring belongs to the very popular category of the Victorian 'Dearest' Ring. And so very difficult (and expensive now) to source an original.
Very prevalent in the Victorian tradition of setting the stones to spell out the words "DEAREST" - Diamond, Emerald, Amethyst, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Tourmaline/Topaz.
This Ring however, has the addition of some gorgeously silky Pearls to further decorate the Ring at the side. It was created to show Love & Affection between two people - Mother/daughter; 2 Lovers; Sisters etc. A great Victorian tradition.
It features a centre Diamond which is surrounded by the Gemstones mentioned. The Stones are round cut, bead set and are flanked by the 6 Pearls, white in colour with silver overtones.
The Ring is in near perfect condition with Finger Size "J" but can be re-sized.
Valuation attached.
