Capture the vibrant spirit and sentimental artistry of the 19th century with this Victorian "Shades of Turquoise" and Old Cut Diamond Band. Masterfully crafted in solid 14k yellow gold, this heirloom treasure features a row of natural turquoise cabochons surrounded by hand-faceted antique diamonds—a combination prized by the Victorians as a symbol of true love and "forget-me-not" devotion. The natural turquoise showcases a charming range of robin’s egg and sky blue hues to deep green, accented by the soulful, "inner fire" sparkle of Old European cut diamonds unique to the Victorian era.
