Victorian five stone ring made in 18k yellow gold with alternating sapphires and old mine cut diamonds. Circa 1890.

Gold carved rings were popular during the Victorian era. Known as a “half hoop” or “carved hoop” ring, this piece can be worn as a wedding band or alongside other rings.

Diamond and gold mining has caused devastation in areas such as Africa, wreaking havoc on delicate ecosystems and communities. Choosing to go vintage, you are eliminating the need for more mining and lessening the demand for new diamonds.
