Antique Victorian French Diamond Navette Cluster Ring 3ct Total

An outstanding antique French diamond navette cluster ring from the late 19th Century, encrusted with a spectacular collection of chunky old mine cut diamonds across the face, with an additional one on each shoulder. They have SI1 clarity – H/I colour and range from 0.02 – 0.20ct in the centre (approx. 3ct total).

During the 18th and 19th Century, old cut diamonds were considered the highest standard with skilfully hand-cut facets that were said to gently dance by candlelight. It may be considered less refined and flashy by modern standards, but their rugged aesthetic and distinctive fire are unlike any machine-cut stones made today and evoke the romance and skilled craftsmanship of a bygone era.

The diamonds are pave set in a large marquise gallery, fashioned in platinum with an 18ct yellow gold back and band, complete with French hallmarks on the outside. It’s a stunning Victorian era statement ring, boasting a magnificent array of natural diamonds that perform with dazzling beauty across the top of the finger.
