The gold band ring, in which alternating colored stones and diamonds were set side by side, is one of the typical British pieces of jewelry of the years around 1900. Whether with sapphires, rubies, emeralds or opals, at least one such ring belonged in the well-stocked jewelry box. The combination of gemstones could be based not only on purely aesthetic criteria, but also on symbolic ones. The combination of sapphire and diamond in particular had an inherent romantic meaning in the Victorian era, as the blue sapphire was seen as a sign of fidelity and the diamond as a guarantee of eternity and constancy. Queen Victoria herself received a brooch with exactly this setting from Prince Albert for her wedding; she wore it on her wedding dress. Thanks to the accurate system of British Hallmarks, we know that this ring was presented to the Chester Assay Office in 1900. It was made in the goldsmith's shop of Samuel Usher, which was located in Vyse Street, Birmingham. A classic and beautiful piece of jewelry from the last year of the Victorian era.
