Victorian 18K Gold Boat Ring with Sapphires & Diamonds, Circa 1890, London

Imagine a ring that captures the essence of Victorian romance—a golden band gracefully shaped like a small vessel, cradling a line of precious stones. This "boat" ring, with its rich, warm glow, speaks to an era where every detail held meaning. Set with three deep blue sapphires, flanked by two sparkling diamonds, it’s a piece that tells a story with every glimmer. Made in London around 1890, this ring would have adorned the hand of someone who cherished timeless beauty, a token of elegance from a bygone age.

The ring is crafted in 18k gold and bears the hallmarks of its English origin: the crown for England, the leopard for London, "18" for gold content, and a maker’s mark of JW. Though the date letter has been lost to resizing, the style places it firmly in the late 19th century. The central sapphire measures .08 carats, with two side sapphires of .05 carats each, while the old European-cut diamonds add .05 carats each of brilliance. It is a size 7.75 and weighs 2.2 grams.

This ring is more than a piece of jewelry; it’s a gentle reminder of Victorian grace and elegance, a gem that transcends time and continues to shine with the charm of the past.
