A striking example of mid-Victorian-era/Napoleon III craftsmanship, this antique French ring from the mid-1800s is a celebration of elegance and refinement. Handcrafted in luxurious 18k gold (hallmarked 750), the piece features a stunning trio of oval-cut citrines, their warm honey-golden glow radiating with exceptional brilliance. Surrounding the citrines are delicate rose-cut diamonds, set in an ornate white-gold-topped gallery that enhances their sparkle with a subtle contrast. The shoulders are enriched with fine black enamel detailing, lending both depth and drama to the design, while the intricately worked gold shank reveals the masterful artistry of 19th-century French jewelers. The ring’s bold yet refined presence makes it an exquisite statement jewel, perfectly balancing Victorian grandeur with timeless sophistication. Whether worn as a collector’s treasure, a cocktail ring, or an heirloom piece, this rare ring embodies the romance and artistry of its era.
 
Sourced in France and curated by Paris-based Vivienne Birt for Chateau Love, this ring embodies the timeless sophistication and meticulous artistry that defines our carefully selected chateau-worthy collection of luxurious antique and vintage jewelry.
