Step back in time, 119 years in fact, to the enchanting decades of the Edwardian era when this exquisite and beautifully crafted ring was manufactured.

Crafted from 18ct yellow gold, by Henry Williamson Ltd and assayed in Birmingham in 1906 and crisply hallmarked as such.

Featuring three lovely oval faceted Peridot, the centre gem slightly larger at approx 1.00ct, and flanked by two further Peridot each weighing approximately 0.75ct each.

Requiring special consideration is the setting… one of the finest we have seen, the carved, scrolled work of the under-gallery is simply exquisite, finely detailed and formed, and the accompanying claws to each Peridot are as equally ornate and finely crafted. Further detailing to the shoulders is a further nod to the superb quality of this ring.

A very solid and thick shank holds all of the above secure on the finger and shows no signs of wear…. With care this ring will endure another 120 years of love!

This ring is not just a piece of jewellery; it's a piece of history, a testament to a bygone era of exceptional craftsmanship. Owning this ring means embracing a legacy of beauty and artistry that transcends time.
