Victorian 1.25 Carat Old Mine Cut Diamond Yellow Gold Antique Five Stone Band
Circa 1811

Antique Victorian engagement band set with five old mine cut diamonds weighing 1.25 carats total within a 18K yellow gold setting. Inside of the band, you can find multiple hallmarks including the crown, which signifies the piece is made of gold—a traditional English mark used until 1975. The "18" denotes that the ring is crafted from 18 carat gold, confirming its high purity. Additionally, the anchor symbol identifies the Birmingham Assay Office, one of the UK's historic centers for precious metal verification. The distinctive letter "m", used in this context, dates the piece to the year 1811, just before Queen Victoria’s reign began — a period known for its refined elegance and delicate craftsmanship.
