Gorgeous Antique Early Victorian Ring, small size 18ct Gold Ring with Platinum Set Solitaire Round Old Cut Diamond of approx. 1/4 Carat.

Patent Number etched to inside dates the ring to 1847 (see http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/PATENT-PENDING-JEWELRY-NUMBERS-DATES-/10000000002325087/g.html)

Very small size - UK approx. K1/2 (USA approx. 5 3/8). Round Diamond approx. 5mm diameter.
Would be lovely for a small hand or young daughter but band quite thin so not very sizeable.

I have been told (I'm no expert but asked a local experienced Jeweller) the Diamond is in excellent condition and looks to be very Clear without visible Inclusions.

The Stepped Platinum Setting is lovely and really sets off the Old Diamond.

The small Gold band is extensively hallmarked (looks like - "pat. 51469, 18ct & PLAT 40" but pat no. is a bit worn on last 2 numbers - which does not alter year made).

Comes in small fitted vintage box but probably not original.

Will be sent by Special Delivery (tracked & insured). Outwith UK by eBay Global Shipping only.
