Description

A rare and fantastically desirable high-carat gold Georgian ring set with three beautiful foil-backed emeralds.

More photos to follow, or see here: https://corvidaeantique.com/products/antique-georgian-emerald-high-carat-gold-ring

SIZE: M and a half (UK), 6 and a quarter (US).

WEIGHT: 1.5g.

MATERIALS: 18-carat gold, emerald.

HALLMARKS/STAMPS: None. The ring tests as 18-carat gold.

ERA: Georgian (c.1714-1837).

CONDITION: One of the little gold balls along the edge is missing, as are some of the claws. All the stones are firmly set, though one has sunk a little and one has a chip, see photos. Despite these flaws, which are what you would commonly expect to find in such an old piece, the ring is in excellent solid condition with beautiful crisp detail.

Diamonds and paste (crystal) were usually foil-backed up till the mid-19th century to make them reflect the candlelight better. Brilliant cut gemstones didn't appear until later and the old cuts didn't sparkle as much as modern stones so it gave them a little help. Practically, it just means you should keep them away from water to avoid it leaking behind the stones and damaging the foil - don't wear them to go swimming or do the washing-up!

Declaration

FAQs

The Georgian era spans from 1714 to 1830, encompassing the reigns of King George I through IV, and is characterised by hand-crafted pieces often featuring closed-back settings, foiled stones, and intricate repousse or chased gold work.

Jewellery from this period was predominantly crafted from high-carat gold, often 18ct or higher, utilising hand-cut gemstones secured in collet settings with closed backs that enhanced the light reflection of the stones.

Authentic pieces typically display hand-cut stones with irregular facets, high-carat yellow gold without modern hallmarks, and evidence of hand-tooling under magnification, distinguishing them from later reproductions.

Historic jewellery can be integrated into contemporary wardrobes by wearing it as a standalone statement piece or pairing it with minimal, modern bands to highlight its unique craftsmanship and age.

Due to the softness of high-carat gold and the natural inclusions in emeralds, these pieces should never be cleaned in ultrasonic machines; instead, they require gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and professional inspection of the settings.
