Victorian Trompe l'Oeil Diamond Button Ring

$3,000

Sold!

A trick of the eye, this weighty late Victorian ring depicts a cuff with two “folds” of gold and a bright old European cut diamond “button”. The engraved stitches are an especially nice touch. We've seen the occasional locket or bracelet done in this style, but this ring is a first.
