Antique Edwardian 1ct Sapphire and Diamond Cluster Ring

A fabulous early 20th century oval blue sapphire and transitional cut diamond halo cluster ring, set in 18ct gold. Circa 1910.

The central 1ct oval sapphire is a deep, violet blue and is rub over set and surrounded by 10 hand set transitional-cut diamonds which complete the timeless ‘Princess Diana’ style halo to full effect.

The stones are set in platinum and mounted to 18ct yellow gold, with a beautifully carved under-gallery adding that extra sign of quality to the ring.
