Antique Spinel Cabochon Ring; circa 1895

Understated and wonderfully captivating, this late Victorian ring is a beautiful celebration of one of history's most fascinating gemstones. Created in rich 18 carat gold has a timeless quality about it. 

The classic claw set mount cradles the most enchanting cabochon cut spinel. Wonderfully irregular in shape, the hand cut gemstone is full of individuality, a reminder of an era when each stone was fashioned to reveal its own unique character rather than conforming to modern precision. Displaying a vibrant pinkish red hue its polished cabochon surface allowing the richly saturated colour to take centre stage.

For centuries, spinels were among the most highly prized gemstones, so much so that many of history's most famous 'rubies' were later identified to be spinels. Their exceptional colour, durability and rarity have made them increasingly sought after by collectors, particularly when found in antique jewellery where their natural beauty remains untouched.

Beautifully balanced this wonderfully tactile Victorian ring is a timeless piece that showcases the enduring appeal of antique craftsmanship. As captivating today as it ever was!
