Early Victorian Trilogy Ring
RESERVED A charming antique three-stone ring dating from the early Victorian period, circa 1850. It's set with three paste gemstones, each with a slightly different golden/orange hue... two are garnet topped doublets, and one is a standard paste stone. They're all set over foil to enhance the colour and brilliance, and they're mounted in attractive crimped settings. Exaggerated split shoulders and a fluted band complete the aesthetic.
Garnet topped doublets are a marvel of ingenuity... they're paste gemstones with a thin "slice" of garnet fused onto the crown, before the whole thing is then faceted. They've been making them since the 1840s, allowing for the vibrant colours possible with paste stones to have a much more durable crown with the bright vitreous lustre of garnet.

A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm!
