Enchanting Victorian Diamond Cluster Ring

The triple tiered gallery mount of 18k yellow gold provides a commanding perspective for the clustering of so many sparkling gems. Lovingly detailed with an open under gallery and a scalloped edge, sizable shoulders split with authority into a substantial band of gold honed by time to a silken smoothness.
