Beverly Glen
Beverly Glen is a delightful authentic Victorian era (circa 1880) 18k yellow gold ring detailed with coveted English hallmarks on the inside shank. From these hallmarks, we can determine this ring was made in Birmingham, England. The ring centers a 0.35ct EGL certified Old European Cut diamond graded L color and VS1 clarity. A pair of Australian Round Cabochon opals flank the center diamond and gauged at approximately 4.30mm in diameter, each displaying a beautiful rainbow play of color. Beverly Glen is further set with two Old Mine Cut diamonds on each end totaling approximately 0.15ct. The ring is finished with a slightly tapering shank and a beautiful patina that only appears with true age. It is currently a size 6.5 and can be sized to most ring sizes.

HISTORY
The Victorian Period was named for Queen Victoria, who inherited the throne of England in 1837 when she was only 18 years old. Victoria was young, beautiful, and loved immensely by her subjects. Her tastes in fashion and jewelry were highly regarded and inspired the Victorian jewelry trends of the time. Queen Victoria was married in 1840, and she wore a snake motif ring (a symbol of eternal love at the time) set with her birthstone, a brilliant green emerald, as her engagement ring. In the Victorian era, it was very common for birthstones to be used instead of diamonds for engagement rings. After Victoria’s beloved Albert passed away in 1861, the queen went into the customary mourning period for 18 months, which inspired the gold lockets and black jet pieces commonly seen in this period.
