Georgian Garnet Ring

Garnets were a popular gemstone during the Georgian period, which lasted from 1714 to 1837 and were highly sought after and set in parures, which included necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and brooches. Garnets were cut with a large, flat table and set over foil to enhance their color and brightness. Garnets were set in closed back settings to intensify their glowing appearance, especially in candlelight. Georgian jewelry often featured naturalistic flower and foliate motifs. This ring was originally a brooch. She is absolutely stunning.
