Delightful Victorian hallmarked 1865 Birmingham multi-stone ring with two large diamond shaped garnets in the center, surrounded by emeralds and enveloped by a beautifully engraved 15K gold band on either end. We love the contrast in both size and color of the stones.
The final photos show how pleasing rings from this decade of 1860-1870 look together on the hand.
This ring is not sizeable because the band is engraved all around and sizing would ruin the engraved pattern...
