Sold by: Touch of Time Antiques

An exceptionally pretty moonstone and seed pearl cluster ring dating to the late Victorian / early Edwardian period.
 
The ring is finely crafted in 15 carat yellow gold and set with an oval cabochon moonstone displaying a strong silvery adularescence. Surrounding it is a border of well-matched natural seed pearls, their soft lustre enhancing the stone’s moonlit glow. The shoulders are delicately carved with scroll and foliate motifs typical of the period.
