Early-Victorian Enamel & Diamond Ring

Circa 1860. This stunning Victorian ring dates from the late Romantic Period.  The sterling silver ring features a sterling silver diamond flower atop a backdrop of cobalt-blue enamel. The flower is accented with 20 bead-set, rose-cut diamonds. The ring is also accented with 36 bead-set, old mine-cut diamonds set into sterling silver settings. Both the under gallery and the shank are constructed of 14KT yellow gold. The diamonds weigh 1.62 carats in total, with SI1-I1 clarity and I-J color. It's rare to find a beautiful piece like this one (over 150 years old!) in such wonderful condition.
