Why We Love It 

Antique half hoops are an AB staple- for good reason. This style emerged in the UK during the Victorian into early Edwardian eras, prized for its meticulous handwork and elegant overall feel. The antique diamonds are set to flow seamlessly across the finger, framed by finely engraved gold that’s meant to be admired up close.

This example stands out for its warm, juicy stones and a slimmer silhouette—most period half hoops span wider across the finger, often limiting wearability. This one strikes the rare balance: historic, beautifully made, and effortlessly wearable.
