Antique garnet and pearl half hoop ring, in 9 carat gold

Set with five deep red garnets graduating gently in size, the gallery is accented by delicate seed pearls tucked between each stone, creating a beautifully balanced and distinct silhouette. The garnets catch the light with warm wine-toned flashes, contrasting softly against the creamy lustre of the pearls and rosy gold setting.

There is a lovely sense of age and character to this piece. From the intricate gallery work to the engraved shoulders, every detail feels considered and quietly romantic. The slightly raised setting gives the ring wonderful presence on the hand while still remaining comfortable and easy to wear. It is hallmarked for 1918, although the gallery and engraved shoulders are distinctly Victorian in style and may be of earlier origin, with slight evidence of this on the shank.
