Lucca
Lucca is an incredibly unique Late Victorian era (circa 1895) platinum topped 18k yellow gold cluster ring. The ring centers a 0.67ct EGL certified Emerald Cut diamond graded D color and VS2 clarity. This incredibly white Step Cut diamond is not original to the setting, and was likely a replacement for an antique Cushion Cut diamond or sapphire. Lucca is further detailed with a halo of sparkling Old Mine Cut diamonds that total approximately 0.80ct. The ring is finished with a bright yellow 18k yellow gold shank and is currently a size 5.5 and can be sized to fit.

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.
