A timeless Victorian era 15ct yellow gold gypsy ring, flaunting a single old Rose cut natural diamond, that is flanked by two natural pink rhodolite garnet stones, all flush star set across the slightly domed face of the band. Three diagonal etched lines to each shoulder are also present, adding an extra touch of interest to this elegant and timeless piece.
Crafted from solid buttery old 15ct yellow gold, this ring is mostly likely Australian in manufacture, boasting a simple '15' stamped that is accompanied by a '625' representing 15ct gold, and a sideways situated 'P', likely a makers mark. Like many Antique pieces of Australian origin, this piece lacks an assay mark and date stamp.
A superb addition to any collection of Antique jewellery, this piece would make a fantastic heirloom quality gift, with a low set and comfortable fit design that would be perfect for regular wear.
