Georgian Garnet Half-Hoop Ring
An especially beautiful Georgian flat-cut garnet half-hoop ring dating from the turn of the 19th century, circa 1800. The red-wine burgundy stones are bright and vibrant, set over foil to enhance their colour, and mounted in rustic 'pie-crust' settings typical of the period. The band features a gorgeous reeded pattern with a twist. Built in 9 carat gold throughout.
Era: Georgian, circa 1800
Ring size: Q or 8.25 US. Resize for £35 (note the pattern around the band will be disrupted)
Width at head: 5.9mm
Stone: Garnet
Marks: None present, tested as 9ct gold
Condition & Care: Great antique condition. This is a 220 year old ring, and it shows light signs of wear consistent with its age including a small chip to one stone. Don't get it wet as water behind the stones will damage the foil. Take it off to wash hands, do dishes, and for gardening, bathing etc. Don't worry if it gets splashed, just wipe/pat dry asap

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
