"This charming mid 19th century ring features five graduated oval faceted rock crystals, which are set in closed back settings lined with pink foil. Finished with a beaded border and intricate strands of twisted gold rope, this jewel is also redolent of the trend for archaeologically-inspired jewels that took hold in the 1860s, making it a wonderful and very wearable addition to any jewellery historian’s collection. This is a rare treasure, the cannetille gold detail is twisted like a fine embroidery, this is a very special ring."
