Antique Cluster Ring, ca 1779
Our Notes
This ring centers on the most delicious red cabochon garnet. It is hard to capture the glow that it gets from its closed setting, but it is really remarkable. We know from its engraved inscription that it dates to 1779, and was worn in memory of a 55 year old loved one.
Garnets were symbolic and used in non-memorial jewelry as well. In this instance, the stone would have been selected to represent love, devotion, and remembrance. The beautiful garnet is further enhanced by a sparkling frame of rose cut diamonds, a nod to forever love and eternity. All of this was set in gold washed silver. It is a poignant and beautiful 18th century memento.
