[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 617167, member: 2844"]It is a gorgeous ring, but I'm with the others, not Victorian. Victorian rings would have the diamonds set in silver. Here in Continental Europe white gold began to replace silver for settings in the 1910s, I suspect North America followed a little later. If the diamonds are old mine cut, they could come from an older jewel. Keep! It is a beauty and $800 is not enough.[/QUOTE]
