I love substantial fancy rings like this, with its thick, knotted, intertwined and hooped loops of 18-carat gold. They became popular in the last part of the 19th century, continuing through the Edwardian period until the First World War.

Three old cut round diamonds gleam in their star settings, which point to this being Edwardian rather than Victorian. As the date letter in the Birmingham hallmark is rubbed, I am putting it at circa 1910.

It would make a beautiful promise ring or alternative wedding ring.
