Pink topaz and diamond cluster ring, circa 1880. Topaz comes in a variety of hues in addition to the famous golden yellow ‘Imperial’ variety, and one of its most attractive and historically popular shades is a delicate pastel pink, as seen in this example. Pink topaz is not commonly seen in modern jewellery, and this charming stone is cut in the traditional oval step cut style, typical for antique specimens. It sits at the centre of a late 19^th century cluster ring, within a border of antique circular-cut diamonds, the shoulders additionally set with cushion-shaped diamonds. A classically feminine ring, which looks beautiful worn.
