Antique Edwardian Pre-loved 18ct Gold Sapphire and Diamond Carved Half Hoop Ring

Three oval sapphires sit across the top of this 18ct yellow gold ring, the largest at the centre, glowing a rich velvety blue. Between each one, a pair of small diamonds adds a bright flash of white, so the colour and sparkle alternate beautifully along the band.

Underneath, the gallery is hand-carved with flowing open scrollwork, the signature detail of a classic British half-hoop ring. It’s what makes the ring just as pretty from the side as from the top.

Made in the Edwardian era, it carries the timeless elegance of fine British jewellery. A beautiful alternative engagement ring, an anniversary ring, or a September birthstone gift. Size O.

FAQ

What is a carved half hoop ring?
A classic British design, where the stones sit in a row across the top of the band, above a hand-carved, pierced gallery. It was hugely popular from the late Victorian to the Edwardian period.

Are the stones real?
Yes, the sapphires are natural and the diamonds are natural old cut diamonds.

Can it be an engagement ring?
Absolutely. Sapphire and diamond are both very hard-wearing, and a half hoop ring is a romantic, traditional alternative to a solitaire.

Can the ring be resized?
Yes, our workshop can resize it carefully through the plain part of the shank. Book an appointment and we’ll advise.

What is sapphire’s birthstone month?
Sapphire is the birthstone for September and the traditional gift for a 45th wedding anniversary.
