A striking vintage ring centred with a large oval cabochon turquoise, displaying a vivid blue-green hue, within a substantial surround of old-cut diamonds in scalloped settings. The elaborate shoulders are formed as openwork foliate scrolls, each accented with further diamonds, giving the ring a wonderfully decorative and architectural profile.
The combination of the large turquoise cabochon, old-cut diamonds and ornate openwork mount gives the piece a distinctly late Victorian to early 20th-century character.
