✨ A true heirloom — steeped in royal-era history, handcrafted with enduring beauty.

Origin: Thailand (formerly Siam)

Era: Late 19th century (circa 1880)

Historical Context: Crafted during the reign of King Rama V (Chulalongkorn, 1868–1910) — one of Thailand’s most revered monarchs, known for his progressive modernization of Siam, including exposure to European styles and techniques. During his reign, European influence in jewellery-making became more prominent, especially among royal and upper-class circles.

This ring’s combination of rose-cut diamonds, filigree detail, and two-tone 14ct gold strongly suggests it was made by a skilled artisan trained in European-style metalwork. The use of both white and yellow gold was advanced for the period and aligns with late Victorian influences.

The design is consistent with romantic-era cluster rings — popular in England and France during the same timeframe — reinforcing the idea that this ring was created either under royal patronage or for an elite buyer during Thailand’s modernization
