Victorian 0.90ct Diamond Five Stone Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold

A classic 18ct yellow gold and diamond five stone ring from the Victorian period. Five old cut diamonds (0.90ct) have been securely claw set, and glimmer as they spread elegantly across the finger. Five stone rings are said to represent the five qualities of a good relationship: love, commitment, trust, communication and empathy. They became increasingly popular in the Victorian period when it became fashionable to wear multiple rings on each hand. This was influenced by Queen Victoria and her royal relatives, who dictated styles and tastes to the Empire at large. The richly polished open work yellow gold mount enables the maximum amount of light to enter and exit the stones. The Victorians loved anything bestowed with meaning, and this was particularly true for jewellery. The ‘Romantic’ period of this era represented a time of marital bliss for Queen Victoria. Showcasing the birthstone for April this beautiful ring is perfect to wear and enjoy from day to night.
