Description

A rare and exquisite early Victorian ring featuring a vibrant natural Demantoid Garnet set amongst luminous freshwater seed pearls, crafted in rich 18K yellow gold. The intricate scrollwork reflects the refined Biedermeier style of the early 19th century, a period known for its elegant and artistic designs. This antique treasure showcases delicate detailing and a timeless aesthetic that remains as captivating today as it was in the 1830s.

This antique gold ring has heavily worn hallmarks due to its age and the soft nature of high-carat gold. It has been acid tested by us and confirmed as 18K gold or higher.

Demantoid Garnet is one of the rarest and most sought-after gemstones, symbolising prosperity, vitality, and creativity. Seed Pearls represent purity, wisdom, and new beginnings, making this ring a meaningful piece for collectors and lovers of historic jewellery.

Demantoid is the birthstone for January, and pearls are traditionally associated with June, making this an ideal gift for those born in these months.

This 1830s antique ring remains in remarkable condition for its age. While the Demantoid garnet is eye-clean with only minor surface scuffs visible under magnification, traces of enamel suggest the scroll detailing was once adorned with black and white accents. Due to the delicate nature of seed pearls, care should be taken when wearing this ring.

An extraordinary antique piece, rich in history and elegance, ideal for collectors of fine antique jewellery and those who appreciate rare gemstones.
