ABOUT THIS RING

This early-Victorian treasure is a delight for your finger—and your eyes! Abounding in exquisite details, it features a sizable round garnet with a fiery hue (enhanced by its foil* backing) that is held by a distinctive combination of triple claw and scalloped prongs. Blooming in the center is a single rose that, fittingly, twinkles with rose-cut diamonds. Ornate, sculptural shoulders beautifully support the enchanting composition, each bearing a single flower, all together creating an utterly unique piece of 19th-century art history ready for display on your hand. Hand fabricated in silver over 18K gold, it is currently ring size 7 1/2. *Applied since the Minoan times (2000-1600 BC), foil backing was used to reflect more light, and/or color, back into the stone and then towards the viewer. Take care to avoid exposure to moisture, as it can cause deterioration of the foil over time.

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.
