Georgian Garnet Half-Hoop Ring
RESERVED
Charming Georgian half-hoop ring set with burgundy flat-cut garnets. Resting in cut-down 'pie crust' mounts, the stones are set over foil giving them mysterious and brooding glow as the light reflects back out. Dating from the turn of the 19th century, the ring shows signs of its age: a glorious rosy gold patina, some surface wear to the stones, evidence of an old repair to the shoulders, and the head has taken on a slightly curved shape (possibly done deliberately so it can be worn alongside another ring). All markers of a long life and rich history... it's full of charm, and it wears its scuffs-and-scrapes with grace and pride.

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.
