Description
A Gold cocktail ring featuring a large central oval-cut garnet of a deep, saturated brownish-red hue. The central gemstone is secured by four pairs of double-claws within a high-profile, tiered setting. It is surrounded by two concentric rows comprising approximately thirty-six round-cut garnets of a similar saturated red colour. The head is constructed with a multi-tiered, raised prong setting and an intricate open-work gallery underneath. The cluster is mounted to a plain, tapered gold shank. The interior of the shank is stamped with a series of small, incised rectangular marks consistent with a standard UK hallmark format, however the characters are not legible as a specific name or date.
Length: 30 mm
Width: 25 mm.
Condition report:
The central oval garnet exhibits multiple fine surface scratches and abrasions across the table and crown facets, visible in the overhead views (photos 1 and 2). The smaller surround stones appear to be in good condition with no visible chips or losses. The gold shows light surface wear and minor areas of tarnish within the recessed parts of the gallery (photo 3). All prongs are intact and the setting remains secure.
