ABOUT THIS RING

Five dusky almandine garnets gleam across this classic Victorian band ring (circa 1900) by M.B. Bryant, a noted New York jewelry house of the period (the turn-of-the-last-century) which utilized seldom seen, sturdy 12K yellow gold. Deep decorative hand engraving graces all sides. Currently ring size 8 1/2.

*Monroe B. Bryant got his start in the jewelry business in the 1840s. He formed the company in 1858 and by the late 1800s was a leading jeweler in New York City. He was an ardent abolitionist and one of the original founders of the Republican party, serving as a delegate at the very first Republican Convention in 1856. M.B. Bryant died in 1907 and at that time was known as “the oldest ring maker in America” according to his New York Times obituary.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
