Alanis Aquamarine & Ruby Ring

Sale price$1,355.00

THE STORY:

We love unexpected color combos, and this aquamarine and ruby pairing may just be one of our favorites! With stones set in a buttercup belcher setting, this ring is every bit swoon worthy in modern times as it was in its origin days. 

The buttercup setting dates back to Victorian times. A variation of the prong setting, its prongs emerge from the mounting as u-shaped scallops. The effect epitomizes the floral fascination of the Victorian era. Jewelry historians also refer to this setting as the Belcher setting--the setting was likely named after a famous English boxing champion. You heard that correctly, a bare-knuckle fighter, James "Jem" Belcher, who held the championship title between 1800 and 1805.
