This lovely carved half hoop from about 1890 features a rich blue untreated centre sapphire flanked by two bright white old mine cut diamonds.

A further four tiny old cut diamonds sit between the three main stones.

Carved half hoops are so called because the gold scroll work is literallycarved into the mount with a graver.

They are usually quite substantial, and will stand up to careful everyday wear.
