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

A richly coloured antique garnet and pearl half hoop ring, crafted in 9 carat gold and hallmarked for 1918.

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 distinctly Victorian style 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 without appearing overly formal. The slightly raised setting gives the ring wonderful presence on the hand while still remaining comfortable and easy to wear day to day.

Garnet jewellery became especially popular during the Victorian era, admired for its rich colouring and symbolism of love, devotion and protection. Paired with seed pearls, the overall effect feels sentimental.

A beautifully preserved antique ring with warmth, texture and unmistakable old world charm.
