British (?) five stone ID help

What are these rings called? “Boat ring” is a term I saw one seller use, which seems to describe them pretty well! Anyone have one? They seem to max out at .50 cttw... I like the look of them, and the 18k gold—wow!

That's a term I have heard before and seems to provide quite a lot of hits on etsy. Normally and not at all helpfully they might just be listed as a vintage or Victorian diamond ring, sometimes with 5 stone or 7 stone in addition. Although not an accurate descriptor half eternity or gypsy might also be used.

I’ve seen similar settings called London Bridge settings - only one hit on Etsy but Google has more options. That YG is so richly coloured and lush!

My Great Grandmother's wedding ring was a Boat Ring & looks just like your second photograph. Her's alternated blue sapphires & seed pearls & was 7 stones. She was married in 1912!!

The ring is still beautiful - my eldest sister inherited it & wears it on occasion. Sadly I don't have any pictures to show you, but it's very ornate & pretty.
