{"product_id":"victorian-old-european-cut-diamond-antique-engagement-ring-9187","title":"Victorian 1.02 Carat Old European Cut Diamond Antique Engagement Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eA beautifully preserved antique engagement ring from the Victorian era centered on a 1.02 carat old European cut diamond, set in yellow gold with richly detailed Gothic Revival shoulders. Each shoulder is engraved with a pair of clasped hands beneath a trefoil motif, framed by delicate beaded borders. The crown setting elevates the diamond. During the Victorian era, jewelry often carried layers of symbolic meaning. The clasped hands, known as the fede motif, represented trust, fidelity, and the joining of two lives in marriage, while the trefoil symbolized enduring love and faith. Together, these motifs reflect the sentimental language that defined nineteenth-century jewelry, transforming the ring into both a personal keepsake and a declaration of lifelong commitment. Inside the band, a partial inscription reading \"Murray to Je.... Feb. 14, 187...\" offers a poignant glimpse into the ring's history, preserving the memory of a Valentine's Day engagement from more than 150 years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem 9187\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter stone: Certified natural 1.02 carat old European cut diamond with F color and SI2 clarity and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gia.edu\/report-check?reportno=2239193187\u0026amp;locale=en_US\"\u003eGIA# 2239193187\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal: 18K yellow gold\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurements: Center: 8mm with a 1.9mm-5.5mm band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarkings: Partial inscription reads, \"Murray \u003cem\u003eto Je....
