Antique, Edwardian large turquoise & old-cut diamond ring Gemstone:TurquoiseProvenance Original to c. 1910, the Edwardian era, this impressively large ring features an extraordinary natural turquoise cabochon. Turquoise was a popular gemstone during the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian periods, prized for its bright blue hue and soft lustre. Throughout the Victorian period and into the early 20th century, it was often seen in mourning jewels to commemorate lost loved ones, however, this isn't the case here it would seem.
