The Story

Transport yourself back to the late 19th century with this exquisite 18-karat yellow gold band, a quintessential example of Victorian celestial sentimentality. Dating to circa 1890, this piece features the classic star set or gypsy-style mounting, a design prized during the era for its seamless blend of durability and elegance. The technique involves recessing the stones into the metal, which protected the precious gems during daily life while allowing the gold to take center stage. Five hand carved starbursts radiate from the center, each cradling a soulful Old Mine cut diamond. With approximately 0.30 total carat weight, these antique diamonds offer the chunky, romantic faceting and inner fire characteristic of pre-industrial lapidary work. This ring isn't just a piece of jewelry, it’s a wearable fragment of history, echoing a time when the night sky was a constant source of artistic inspiration.
