Victorian (1894) 18ct Gold Diamond & Sapphire Ring
A unique Victorian ring in terms of its design and origin. It has full British hallmarks for gold (18ct), date (1894), and origin (Chester). It features small blue sapphires and diamonds set into a thick 18ct gold band.
Victorian rings that were made in Chester are scarce in the marketplace because most of the jewellery pieces were made in other Assay Offices, mainly Birmingham.
Historically people believed sapphires symbolize truth and faithfulness and keep its owner safe from illness and spells.
