Victorian Twin Peaks Ring

Victorian Twin Peaks RingCute Victorian cluster ring set with turquoise, pearls, and diamonds.

Three rose cut diamonds occupy the spaces between the pearls, and they're flanked to either side by vivid turquoise cabochons. English hallmarks indicate 15ct gold, and 1896 as the year it was made.
