A stunning ring from the Georgian period, c1800. The ring is made from solid 9ct gold and is a beautiful oval shape, which has lovely finger coverage. At the centre, behind the mildly domed glass, are the initials, thought to be OBV. They are carefully formed with white silk cord and have an elaborate form making them very decorative. They sit in the closed back setting allowing the slightly rosy gold to be their background.
Surrounding this is a wonderful halo of jargoons. Jargoons are natural colourless zircons that have been rose cut to resemble diamonds. With this particular ring, you would be forgiven for thinking they really were rose diamonds as they glitter and sparkle beautifully. The ring has a classic Georgian form and makes a lovely statement on the hand.
Details:
Materials - 9ct Gold (tested), Jargoons, Glass
Age - C1800
Size - The setting measures approx 21.5mm by 18.5mm
Ring Size - UK Q US 8 ¼ It would be tricky to resize this ring as it has been done before and there is an extra panel in place, please see the pictures.
Condition - Very good. Some wear commensurate with age. One jargoon is a little sunken in its setting, though this is only noted for accuracy. The back of the shank has been reinforced, as mentioned above. Please see the pictures. Overall, the ring is excellent considering its age.
Weight - 5.4g
