The four golden points streak away from a rose cut diamond centre, indicating North, South, East, and West - the whole star having been sunken into the cabochon garnet itself (an incredible feat of lapidary). Applied gold scrollwork and granulation decorate the gallery, and the shoulder are hand-carved with intricate foliate engravings - weaving together both the naturalistic \u003cem\u003eand \u003c\/em\u003ethe archaeological revivalist threads that dominated the decorative arts in the latter half of the nineteenth century when this ring was made. It's crafted in 15 carat gold and dates from the 1860s\/70s or thereabouts. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eEra: Victorian, c.1850-1880\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eRing size: M or 6.25 US.
