[SOLD] Antique Victorian Parti & Blue Sapphire Three Stone Gypsy Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold

Circa late 19th century, this astonishing Victorian gypsy ring features an Australian sapphire with captivating dark teal-blue, green, and dash of yellow parti-colours. The centre sapphire is flanked by two vibrant light blue sapphires, each displaying bright, vivid blue hues. Together, the trio showcases a stunning spectrum of blue tones that shift beautifully in the light. All three sapphires are set in classic flush settings within buttery 18ct yellow gold — a design that was highly popular during the late Victorian era and remains timeless today.

The Late Victorian Era (1885-1900) is known as the aesthetic jewellery period. Jewellers used bright coloured gemstones in their designs. Symbols like stars and crescents were popular design choices of this era and these elements were often carved into the gold around the settings of the gemstones.

Gypsy ring got its name from the gypsy setting, also called flush setting, a style where a gemstone is sunk into the gold, so that the top surface of the stone sits flush with the gold surface, creating a smooth, bezel-less appearance. This style of ring is also famous for its durability with its low-profile setting.
