Victorian 1.18ct Cushion Cut Diamond Solitaire Gypsy Ring Size:8.25 as we would expect fromDATE: Victorian, c. 1880 Exceptional solitaire gypsy ring set with a 1. 18ct square cushion cut diamond. The stone, a chunky old cut with large open culet, lies in a simple rub over setting, and displays excellent colour and clarity (F G VS2). Handmade in England towards the end of the 19th century, circa 1880, with Birmingham hallmarks for 18k gold. Potentially the nicest example of this classic style we've had all year.
