Antique, Victorian sapphire & old mine-cut diamond checkerboard ring opal

Antique, Victorian sapphire & old mine-cut diamond checkerboard ring opalProvenance Original to c. 1880, this Victorian ring is such a unique and playful piece. We absolutely love the checkerboard design of alternating natural blue sapphires and cushion old mine cut diamonds. The ring takes the form of a rectangular panel that offers a wonderful spread of stones across the finger. Set with nine blue sapphires with cushion mixed cuts, each with its subtle nuances in tone and shade which make this ring all the more lovable.
