Stunning Victorian Belcher-Prong Solitaire with an Old European Cut Diamond

This is an unusually striking piece, poised somewhere between tradition and singularity. While its overall silhouette evokes the familiar low-set belcher, this example presents a far more refined architecture. The openwork basket is crowned by intermittent spires, lending a sense of lift and lightness, while finely chased shoulderwork adds visual intricacy without overwhelming the form.

The result is a design that balances delicacy and structure. It is a ring distinguished not only by its rarity, but by the clarity of its craftsmanship.

It also pops like whoa on the finger.
