We are delighted to offer this gorgeous antique Victorian garnet cabochon and diamond star ring made c.1880.This ring features a substantial garnet cabochon that has a wonderful curvature that not only has an impressive presence upon wearing but allows for the light to shine through. Additionally, a gold star set with old cut diamonds highlight the top section and present a celestial theme which was very popular and romanticised in the Victorian era. The wonderful lustre ranges from a dark maroon/black to a red depending on the angle of the lighting. In low-light situations such as at late-night events, parties or even candlelight the garnet and diamond create a further unique and contrasted appearance that presents an aura of mystique and unparalleled elegance. Overall, a lovely addition to any jewellery collection, whether be it for wearing as a single standout piece or amongst other antique pieces, this ring certainly would grace the hands of a discerning antique lover. Garnet is known to be the birthstone for January and diamonds, April. The ring is unmarked as is common with articles of this period, as such, we have tested the ring with results indicating 14ct gold.All of our rings come with a complimentary modern hard shell ring gift box with a velvet interior.
