DATE: Victorian, c.1895

Excellent Victorian three-stone gyspy ring set with a blue sapphire flanked by two chunky old cut diamonds. Crafted in solid 18 karat gold, the stones rest in rub-over settings: two .16ct old Euro diamonds and a natural .36ct blue sapphire. A partially legible inscription inside the band reads 'R.E.J. to E.M.J. Febr.. 6... 189...' suggesting it was made and first exchanged during the final decade of the 19th century.
