Mid-Victorian 1.15 Carat Old Mine Cut Diamond Belcher Ring

This enchanting mid-Victorian ring showcases a 1.15 carat old mine-cut diamond with a soft sunshiny yellow glow, set in a classic buttercup (or belcher) setting.The diamond is nestled within the shank itself, creating a flush profile that's both durable and comfortable to wear. The prongs, carved directly into the ring, form a delicate "buttercup" flower shape, gently embracing the diamond and enhancing its sparkle. Crafted in gleaming 14 karat rosy yellow gold, the shoulders of the ring are adorned with traces of hand-engraved scrollwork. The interior of the band is inscribed, "J.N.P. to Eveline Nov. 8, 1863," offering a heartfelt glimpse into its storied past.
