DIAMOND CLUSTER RINGThe Ashoka-cut diamond, weighing 5.02 carats, within a halo of brilliant-cut diamonds, the band set throughout with brilliant-cut diamonds, maker's mark, numbered, ring size KFootnotes:Accompanied by a copy of a report from GIA stating that the diamond is D colour SI2 clarity. Report number 14438987 dated 2nd June 2005.Please note, this report is over five years old and may require updating.The Ashoka-cut lends its name, and was inspired by, the original Ashoka Diamond - a 41.37 carat, D colour, Flawless diamond - from the highly coveted Golconda mine in India. This original diamond was named after Ashoka the Great, who ruled in India during the 3rd Century BC. Ashoka the Great was known initially for his bloodthirsty military conquests, but legend has it after surveying the death and destruction his army had caused in capturing the region of Kalinga, his feeling of remorse was so severe he transformed his ways, becoming a pacifist and promoting the spread of Buddhism - believing the true path of enlightenment could only be achieved through tranquillity, hence the naming of the original diamond.Based on the Ashoka Diamond, New York diamantaire, William Goldberg, developed and patented the Ashoka-cut in 2000, and Boodles are the only British jeweller to offer Ashoka-cut diamonds in their collection. The Ashoka-cut displays an additional five facets to the 57 facets of brilliant-cuts, requiring the rough diamond to be larger and longer than average, and it is known for its typically larger 'spread', enabling the polished diamond to appear larger when viewed face-up.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

BLOODSTONE INTAGLIO SIGNET RING AND AN ENAMEL, DIAMOND AND PASTE MONOGRAM BANGLE, LATE 19TH CENTURY1st: The bloodstone intaglio carved with the Ingilby family armorial crest featuring the boar's head and incorporating the motto, 'Mon Droit' (My Right), mounted in gold, 2nd: The central compartment with a hinged cover displaying the rose-cut diamond initial, 'M', beneath a similarly-set coronet, over a black enamel ground, within a surround of cushion-shaped diamonds and white paste, mounted in silver and gold, ring with goldsmith's mark RJ, ring size O½, bangle inner diameter 5.7cm (2)Footnotes:From the Collection of the Ingilby Family of Ripley CastleLots 209 - 221 Located three miles from Harrogate on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Ripley Castle has been the seat of the Ingilby family since the 14th century. Sir Thomas Ingliby (c. 1290–1352) married the heiress, Edeline Thwenge in 1308/9 and acquired the Ripley Castle estate with its medieval manor house as her dowry. While hunting, their eldest son, Thomas (1310–1369), saved Edward III from being attacked by a wild boar and was duly knighted with the boar's head incorporated into the Ingilby family crest (see lots 209 and 213). Subsequent generations of the Ingilby family have survived periods of political and religious turmoil and witnessed great societal change. Today, the Ingilby family still live at Ripley Castle and have been opening it to the public since 1954.The rose-cut diamond 'M' on the hinged cover of the bangle is for the Marjoribanks family of Lees near Coldstream in the Scottish borders. The Hon. Alicia Marjoribanks (d.1916) was the youngest child of David Robertson MP., 1st Baron Marjoribanks (1797-1873) and on 26th June 1862, she married Sir Henry Day Ingilby, 2nd Baronet (1826-1911) of Ripley Castle and Harrington Hall in Lincolnshire. Her father was the Lord Lieutenant of Berwickshire and his portrait can still be found at Ripley Castle. Alicia's great uncle, Edward Robertson (1776-1868), was appointed as a partner of Coutts Bank by Thomas Coutts in 1797 and a senior partner from 1836 until his death. Alicia and Henry had two children, Henry and Mary. Within the space of a mere fourteen months between October 1872 and December 1873, both children died tragically of meningitis, aged four and nine respectively. Shortly after this, Alicia's father was run over by a horse drawn bus outside his club in Newcastle just seven days after being ennobled as Lord Marjoribanks of Lees. His sons had predeceased him and his untimely passing saw the extinction of his title. He is buried at Ladykirk and his family mausoleum is nearby at Coldstream.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Sir Thomas Ingliby (c. 1290–1352) married the heiress, Edeline Thwenge in 1308/9 and acquired the Ripley Castle estate with its medieval manor house as her dowry. While hunting, their eldest son, Thomas (1310–1369), saved Edward III from being attacked by a wild boar and was duly knighted with the boar's head incorporated into the Ingilby family crest (see lots 209 and 213). Subsequent generations of the Ingilby family have survived periods of political and religious turmoil and witnessed great societal change. Today, the Ingilby family still live at Ripley Castle and have been opening it to the public since 1954.The seal ring was used as long ago as 3500 BC and is believed to have originated in Mesopotamia. The ancient Greeks and Romans used seal rings widely and elevated them beyond their functionality to decorative and beautiful jewels.There are references to seal rings in the Bible and they continued to be used throughout Europe during the Middle Ages when heraldry became an important form of authority and identification. The growing merchant class of the Renaissance period led to new levels of embellishment and an increasing need to mark goods, sign letters and seal legal documents. Some of the most important documents in history have been stamped with the initials or crest of the wearer in wax from a seal ring. In its day, the seal of a ring was considered more authentic than a signature (see Scarisbrick, D., 'Rings: Jewelry of Power, Love and Loyalty', London, 2007, pp.9 and 28).The vast majority of seal rings dating from these periods were usually destroyed upon the owner's death to avoid any possibility of forged documents appearing, so it is rare for an armorial seal ring of this age to come to market directly from the family to whom the crest belongs.The practice of wearing a seal ring engraved with a heraldic crest became common in England during the 15th century. However, from the mid-16th century it became more common for a nobleman to wear his family's full coat of arms, as seen in these two seals, which are each engraved with a complete shield.For a similar seal ring, see Bonhams, London, 27th April 2022, lot 53.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND CLUSTER RINGThe cushion-shaped sapphire, weighing 5.493 carats, within a surround of similarly-shaped and old brilliant-cut diamonds, diamonds approximately 1.40 carats total, ring size L½Footnotes:Accompanied by a report from SSEF stating that the sapphire is of Kashmir origin, with no indications of treatment. Report number 124017 dated 9th August 2022.Accompanied by a report from AGL stating that the sapphire is of Kashmir origin with no indications of heat treatment. Report number 1126983 dated 17th October 2022.Sapphires from Kashmir were first discovered in the late 1870s/early 1880s high up in the snow-clad Great Himalayas of north-western India where a landslide revealed hitherto unknown deposits in a rock valley 4500m above sea level. By 1882 the Maharaja of Kashmir had taken control of the mine that could only be worked from July-September each year due to the high altitude and near perpetual heavy snowfall. Because of its remote location mining techniques were always primitive. This first mine, known as the Old Mine, was really just a series of shallow pits sunk into the rock. Apparently, the first specimens were so huge and abundant, they were studded in places as thick as 'plums in a pudding' and could be plucked from the rock. By 1887 the Old Mine was nearly exhausted and a New Mine, on the valley floor 250m below, gave up some fine sapphires but they were generally of lesser quality, size and quantity. The area was worked sporadically until the late 1920s/early 1930s but the glory years of the 1880s were never repeated.Legend says that the finest stones from this 30 to 40-year period were all acquired by the Maharaja and jealously guarded in the chambers of the Kashmir State Treasury. British geologist, Charles Stewart Middlemiss, Superintendent of the Mineral Survey of Jammu and Kashmir State from 1917 until 1930, recorded seeing some of this fabled hoard, describing the sacks of rough and cut gems as a 'king's ransom', with some sapphires the size of polo balls.Today, Kashmir sapphires set the standard against which all other sapphires are measured and are avidly sought by collectors who are prepared to pay princely sums for top-quality specimens.For further reading see, Hughes, R.
