Provenance:
This ring bears a full set of British hallmarks assayed in Birmingham, England. The marks include the anchor (Birmingham Assay Office), the crown (18k gold standard), the number 18 (gold fineness), and a lowercase date letter, consistent with Victorian-era hallmarking practice. Birmingham was one of the most celebrated centers of fine jewelry production during the Victorian era.
The gypsy setting, with stones set flush and finished with hand-engraved star detail, is a signature of the period. The ruby and diamond pairing was a favored combination of Victorian jewelers.
