Chisholm
Chisholm is an authentic Victorian era 18k yellow gold five-stone diamond ring with much-coveted English hallmarks. Stamps on the inside shank tell us that the ring was originally created in Birmingham, England in the year 1890. Chisholm features five Old Mine Cut diamonds graduating in size and each individually prong-set totaling approximately 0.65ct in combined weight. The 18k yellow gold ring is thoughtfully engraved with a personal inscription on the inside shank reading “AMCL 2 LMCS 17-4-15” which we believe to be an anniversary and initials. The ring is an incredible piece of history and can be worn as a wedding band, engagement ring, or stand on it’s own!
Chisholm is currently a size 7.5 and can be sized to fit most ring sizes (though may be limited if the wearer would like to preserve the original inscription). Please contact our concierge with sizing questions.

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.
