1888 Victorian Five Diamond Gypsy Ring

The Story

A classic that never goes out of style, this graduated five stone diamond gypsy ring is sure to be treasured for years to come. A winking Transitional Cut diamond sparkles from the center as 0.09 total carats of Old Mine Cut diamonds flank either side. Ever popular with the Victorians, gypsy rings earned name from “wandering” nature of the stones in the setting and the good fortune associated with the celestial motif. We especially love the harlequin-esque pattern  framing each twinkling diamond. Hallmarks tell us this ring hails from Birmingham, England circa 1888. The D&F maker’s mark suggests this ring was produced by Deakin & Francis, a family run jewelry business that spans seven generations and 239 years. A special ring connecting the past to the present.
