Edwardian Belcher Band with Acanthus Leaves
A lovely Edwardian diamond belcher band with finely sculpted details. Five graduated old mine cut diamonds are set across the top of the ring in the classic belcher method, with an unusual feature: alternating prongs are platinum. This creates an interesting effect. The glowing 18ct yellow gold shoulders are sculpted into an acanthus leaf motif. Great in a stack or on its own, a belcher ring is a must have for any antique jewelry collection. Circa 1900.
In the unique belcher (or "buttercup") style of setting the prongs that hold the stone are an integrated part of the ring. Popular in the late 1800s, this style offers a sleek, tapered design and a low profile.
