Antique Three Diamond Gypsy Ring

A striking antique diamond ring dating to 1912, crafted in rich 18ct yellow gold and fully hallmarked in Chester, England. More than a century old, this beautiful piece has a substantial curved profile characteristic of traditional antique gypsy-style rings.

Three natural diamonds are set across the front of the band, each surrounded by an engraved starburst setting. The central diamond is larger, with two smaller diamonds positioned on either side, creating a beautifully balanced graduating arrangement.

The combination of warm 18ct gold, old-world star settings and the softly rounded band gives this ring a distinctive character that is difficult to reproduce in modern jewellery.

A Piece of British Jewellery History

The Chester Assay Office closed in 1962, making surviving Chester-hallmarked jewellery particularly interesting to collectors of British antique gold. The 1912 hallmark firmly places this piece in the Edwardian period, giving it over a century of history.

Its three star-set diamonds sit almost flush with the gold, while the broad polished band gives the ring a strong yet refined appearance. It works beautifully as an antique statement ring, an unusual engagement ring, or simply as a collectable piece of early-20th-century jewellery.
