ABOUT THIS RING

A truly sensational antique ring dating back the mid-19th century. A very light blue sapphire (resembling a moonstone), weighing approximately 20 carats, is hand carved into a classic female profile. The frame is a delightful combination of emeralds accented with glossy red, white and green enamel. The cameo and frame more than likely once served as a pin or pendant and was expertly converted into a ring long ago, perhaps by the original maker since the engraving on the under gallery is virtually indistinguishable from the engraving under the frame. A rare and fabulous museum quality treasure. 18K yellow gold with 14 karat shank. 1 1/4 by 1 inch. Currently ring size 8.

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.
