This Edwardian sapphire and diamond ring dates to 1904 and comes in solid 18ct yellow gold with a full Birmingham hallmark. It features a classic graduated spread of natural sapphires and old-cut diamonds, making it ideal for everyday wear, stacking, or as a timeless right-hand ring. The rich gold and detailed shoulders give it the character collectors look for in an antique piece.

Design & Craftsmanship

The ring holds five old-cut sapphires in deep and mid-blue tones. Old-cut diamonds sit between them and add subtle sparkle. Each stone sits in a carved scroll mount that shows fine Edwardian detailing. The engraved shoulders flow into a strong tapering band, which enhances durability and comfort. The full 18ct hallmark confirms quality and origin. Together these elements create an antique ring with both elegance and enduring construction.

Historical Note

Edwardian jewellery often combined airy, decorative metalwork with coloured gemstones. Sapphire was a favourite gemstone of the period, symbolising loyalty and truth. Old-cut diamonds speak to the hand-cut techniques used before modern precision cutting became standard.

Styling Ideas

This Edwardian sapphire and diamond ring sits low on the finger, so it stacks well with plain gold bands. It works as an everyday signature ring and transitions easily into evening wear. You can also pair it with other Edwardian or Victorian pieces to create a cohesive antique look.

Why We Love This Ring

This antique piece offers a practical blend of beauty and durability. The solid 18ct gold band feels substantial, and the stones sit securely in their original settings. It is a dependable antique piece that stands up well to regular wear while still showing the charm and craftsmanship of 1904.
