Description: Unusual Victorian 14carat gold, onyx, pearl and diamond ring. Made 19th century.

Length is 15/16 inch (just under 1 inch) and weighs 7grams; size a little smaller than 7 1/2 US though can be resized without compromising the setting.

Rectangular onyx with canted corners set in an engraved, stepped 14 carat gold mount. Hand engraved foliage all around the sides and openwork foliate shoulders leading to the band.
On top of the onyx plateau is a pair of wonderful gold daisies with pearl centers and a small diamond set on one side. All fit together very well and make for a highly unusual and attractive piece of jewelry that looks very elegant when worn.

Hallmarked inside the band 14K.

Condition of the ring is good. The band is worn as can be expected after 100 years of wear, but the top, with onyx, gold and flowers above it are in very good shape.

The design combines the sombre black of mourning with the delightful floral theme.
