A ethereal Georgian ring dating to around 1790, possessing all the warmth and romance that make jewellery from this period so sort after.
At its centre sits a beautiful foilcbacked paste stone displaying an enchanting peachy golden yellow hue. Alive with flashes of light the stone sparkles wonderfully, its hand cut facets and reflective foil backing creating a rich brilliance that was admired during the Georgian era. Long before modern gem synthesis, such paste stones were prized for their beauty and their ability to imitate the fire of precious gems.
Surrounding the glowing centre stone is a delicate halo of seed pearls. Their soft lustre provides a lovely contrast to the vibrant paste, creating a composition that feels both elegant and ethereal. The ring is created in warm 9 carat gold and features decorative shoulders adorned with a trilogy ball motif.
Romantic and full of character, this is a beautiful Georgian survivor. A jewel that captures the elegance and charm of the late 18th century. A true treasure.
