Victorian 18KY gold and star set diamond ring

Description : The history of the assay mark goes back to 1300 AD for the British jewelry and metalsmiths. The extensive marks of the British goldsmith, particularly during Victorian times, assured the buyer that the purity of the metal and the provenance of the craftsmanship was traced to its inception. This little beauty has all the hallmarks of a finely crafted Victorian British gold ring from the 1880's. The anchor indicates that the piece is from Birmingham. Star setting is also a signature of this time. A hole is drilled for the stone, and the radiant pattern around the diamond is hand engraved. The smallest bit of metal is pushed along and becomes the prong for the setting. Size 6
