A rather unusual two-tone (grey and brown) agate ring set in a delicate 9ct rose gold setting with a slim ring shank.
Curator’s note:
This ring was chosen to form part of our collection because of its rarity. Antique agate jewellery is always highly collectable as it’s highly wearable today. The Victorians loved agate’s grounding properties and earthy colours and often incorporated them into bracelets, pendants and brooches. This is a covetable signet-style ring showcasing an attractive two-tone agate stone, set in a style that ensures it takes centre-stage. An understated ring with a remarkably modern, minimal and highly wearable design.
Details
Date: Victorian, Circa 1870
Hallmarks: Not hallmarked - tests as 9ct gold
Weight and size: 2g, UK ring size S, US ring size approx 9
Condition: Very good antique condition - The tiniest movement in the setting but the setting is secure
