Late victorian ring

My boyfriends family gifted me this antique ring from his great grandmother. It is american late Victorian to very early Edwardian yellow-gold emerald and diamond floral cluster ring, with one central diamond, six emeralds and eighteen outer diamonds, based on the family history it is c.1880–1910. No hallmarks which I think is typical for the US and the era. Anyone know how I can find anything about its likely age given the style?

 

Nice Family !!!!!

Nice ring as well......

 

I don't know anything about the age.....but the emeralds look to be spectacular!
Does the center diamond have a cutlet? (Bottom point cut off leaving a flat area)

 

called a cocktail ring , I think.

 

If there are marks inside of the ring, they would help. If nothing else, good shots of the back of the ring will tell its tale; the information we need is on the back.

 

No, a pork chop. AI at its most rudimentary:culet.

 

..................would u like fries with that ?

 

Beautiful ring, with very clear emeralds.

Could you show us the side view of the 'crown', and a photo of the inside construction?

It is prong set and looks fairly high, so it probably has a pavilion (triangular point), and likely a culet to prevent breakage of the stone. Also, the top looks like a type of brilliant cut, which always has a pavilion and culet.

 

For a pescatarian, I have a lot of cutlets in my house.

 

I've heard of tuna and halibut and swordfish steaks, but never a formerly swimming cutlet.

 

Apparently fish croquettes can also be called fish cutlets, at least in Sri Lanka and India:

non-Western English strikes (strikers?) again.

 

hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

 

AI thankfully. Nobody would send a real woodbuner off of a wooden trestle lke that. That's the Back to the Future engine.

 

Hi all,

Thank you! I agree.

 

Thank you for the response. I can't see any marks on the ring but here are some photos of the back.

 

Here is a side view, inside above. It is hard to see there is either no culet or a very small one.
