Sparkling Garnet Doublet in Engraved Rosy Gold Ring

A brilliant red garnet doublet is set in a beautifully engraved 10k rosy gold ring. The sparkling oval garnet doublet sits in a low profile, six prong head. The pinched, scalloped shoulders are delicately engraved with classic Victorian designs and taper into a slim band. The interior of the ring is stamped with a jaunty anchor and the letter "K" in a small cartouche. Circa 1880.

A doublet is a composite gemstone consisting of two pieces of the same or different gem materials, or one of gem material and a second of glass. The pieces are layered to improve the appearance of the gem. For example, in this case a thin slice of garnet is layered over a piece of red glass, improving the color of the garnet.

Details.....Currently a size 8. This ring can be sized up or down within two sizes for a fee. The top of the ring measures 7.5mm by 10.3mm and the band tapers from 5mm at the shoulder to 2.3mm at the back of the band. In Very Good Antique Condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels, we consider it part of the charm.
