Description

This Victorian diamond and sapphire navette ring is a beautifully proportioned antique jewel with a distinctive elongated marquise-shaped face. The design centres on an old cut diamond, with two round blue sapphires set vertically above and below. A surround of further old cut diamonds follows the navette outline, creating a bright, balanced finish against the yellow gold setting. The ring appears consistent with late Victorian styling and works equally well as an antique engagement ring, dress ring or collector’s piece.

Why We Love This Ring

This antique ring has the unmistakable character of a genuine Victorian navette design without feeling overly ornate. The elongated shape gives excellent finger coverage, yet the scale remains wearable for everyday use. We also like the combination of sapphire and old cut diamond, which feels distinctive while remaining easy to wear. Because the construction is substantial and the design is well balanced, it has the longevity expected from well-made antique jewellery.

How to Style

This Victorian sapphire and diamond navette ring will appeal to someone looking for an antique engagement ring with a less conventional silhouette, or to a collector drawn to Victorian jewellery. The navette shape sits neatly along the finger and works particularly well worn alone. However, it can also be paired with fine curved or shaped bands where the proportions allow. Sapphire is the traditional September birthstone, so the ring would also make a thoughtful birthday or anniversary piece.
