Finely detailed antique Victorian era almandine garnet & pearl ring (circa 1848s), crafted in 15 karat rose gold.
Almandine garnets range in size from 3mm to 4mm. Two pearls measure 3mm each (one pearl is a later replacement).
The charming decorative ring, dating to 1848, highlights hand engraved scrolled detailing with almandine garnets and pearls to the center of the band. Great worn alone or stacked. The ring has a low profile and rises 3mm from the finger (0.11 inches).
The ring is in good condition. We have not cleaned it in order to preserve the patina and collector value. Note: the hand engraved details around the band have worn down due to the age of the ring.
