Sutton Place
Sutton Place is a charming and authentic Victorian era (circa 1880) silver and 14k yellow gold cluster ring. This antique engagement ring features a lovely sapphire and diamond combination. The ring centers an eight-prong set natural Round sapphire gauged at approximately 0.70ct in weight. The ocean blue stone is surrounded by a prong-set halo of twelve Rose Cut diamonds, totaling approximately 0.20ct in weight. Due to the nature of its construction, our gemologists believe that Sutton Place was most likely an antique brooch or part of a necklace. It appears that the 14k yellow gold shank has been newly added to convert this piece of history into a ring. Sutton Place is currently a size 6.5 and can be sized to fit most ring sizes. 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.
