Victorian Baby Belcher Ring shield ring approximately 2mm in diameter eachA lovely and classic example of a popular Victorian style (that also experienced a revival in the 1940s), this antique belcher ring is a delight on the finger. The belcher setting, similar to a buttercup, plays with negative space and soft texture with a mount that gently rises from the band with a scallop like carving and delicate prongs. A bright and sparkly old European cut diamond with a chunky culet is the perfect complement to warm yellow gold.
