There's something to be said about royal blue, yellow gold, and white. A classic combo that help make this ring pop. She's got a nice durable low profile and will play very nicely with other rings and jewelry, to add that extra touch of understated sophistication. It's her touches of details that also set her apart-- her detailed shoulders and scalloped edges put her a step above the rest. Clearly stamped, we know she's 15k and made in Birmingham in 1889.
Let's talk symbolism-- the Victorians loved it. In this instance, the sapphires represent loyalty, and the diamond enduring strength and eternal love. Pearls stand for purity and delicacy. And the gypsy ring's flush setting symbolizes protection and unbreakable bonds. Gypsy rings were commonly given as symbols of love and friendship during the Victorian era. How's that for a love ring?!

Very good antique condition: no visible damage or much wear. Pearls have lost a little luster (to be extected after 120+ years), and you can see a straight line on the back where she's been resized but done well. Crisp hallmarks.
