Lot 122: A 9 Carat Gold Emerald and Diamond Cluster Ring 2.51 gram size R

A 9 carat yellow gold cluster ring designed in the Victorian style. The ring features a central oval-cut natural emerald secured in a four-prong setting. This emerald is encircled by a halo of twelve round-cut diamonds, collectively weighing 2.51 carats. The stones are set into a white metal head to contrast with the yellow gold band. The band tapers at the shoulders where it meets the cluster setting. The ring is presented in a period-style green velvet-lined octagonal display box with a gilded exterior border. An accompanying handwritten tag is inscribed with 9ct, 2.51, Diamond, Emerald, and the initials SR. A second adhesive label is present, reading SHELBYS AUCTIONEERS LOT 122, with a smaller sticker above it printed 12938. Gold purity is indicated by the tag as 9 carat, though no internal hallmarks are visible in the images; testing is recommended to confirm the exact metal fineness.
