This lovely antique Victorian ring is crafted in rich, glowing 18K gold and showcases timeless elegance and substance. At the center is a natural purplish-red oval garnet, faceted to catch the light and bezel set in a closed-back mounting, a classic detail of the Victorian era that enhances the stone’s depth of color. The garnet is framed by a gently twisting braided surround, adding texture and visual interest while highlighting the warmth of the gold. The smooth, wide band measures approximately 7.75mm, giving the ring a substantial, comfortable presence on the hand. With an impressive weight of 8.9 grams, it feels wonderfully solid and well made—just what you’d expect from a quality antique piece.
