Victorian 1.46ctw Multi Gem Harem Ring 14K
Step into history with this exquisite Victorian-era Harem ring, crafted in 18K yellow gold and showcasing a stunning array of gemstones, including diamonds, ruby, sapphire, and emerald. This five-band ring has been permanently fused into a fixed design, with each gemstone thoughtfully selected to create a unique, vibrant composition. The emerald and ruby gemstones are cushion cut, the diamonds are old mine cut and rose cut, while the sapphires are round faceted, each adding their own charm. Known as Harem or Turkish rings, these pieces have their origins in the Ottoman Empire, where sultans would offer them as tokens of affection to their favorites. They were later adopted as wedding rings in Turkey and became popular in Western Europe during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This estate item is offered as received, and polishing and cleaning are available upon request at no additional charge.
