About the Item

Antique 19th Century Old Mine-Cut Diamond and Black Enamel Ring in Silver and Gold. A jewel of evocative charm and Victorian grandeur, this antique ring marries the drama of black enamel with the soft fire of old mine-cut and rose-cut diamonds, creating a piece that whispers of sentiment, status, and romantic intrigue. Centered on a trilogy of prominent old mine-cut diamonds, framed by a delicate constellation of rose-cut companions, the composition unfolds in celestial symmetry—an echo of the Romantic era’s fascination with stars, nature, and the divine. Set atop a black enamel ground that heightens the scintillation of the stones, the diamonds are mounted in silver over an intricately hand-pierced yellow gold gallery and shank. The openwork shoulders—crafted with extraordinary finesse—lend a lace-like lightness to the overall form, contrasting beautifully with the richness of the enamel and the intensity of the diamonds. The underside reveals a thoughtful construction typical of mid-19th century craftsmanship, ensuring comfort and breathability despite the ring’s generous proportions. Elegant on the hand and steeped in historical character, this ring speaks to those drawn to the romance of the past, yet it wears effortlessly today—whether as a statement of love, legacy, or individuality.
