Antique Victorian 15ct Rose Gold Rhodolite Garnet Ring - Birmingham 1884
Please note, boxes are for display only unless otherwise stated.
Step into a whisper of Victorian romance with this utterly charming antique ring, crafted in 1884 and still wearing its original Birmingham hallmarks with pride — crisp, clear, and perfectly legible after 141 years.
Crafted from the most luxurious 15ct rose gold that glows warmly against the skin, it cradles a generous 7.5-carat Rhodolite garnet cabochon.
Tilt it just so and this gemstone comes alive — deep plum-rose and burgundy hues swirl like fine red wine catching candlelight. Peer a little closer and you’ll spot the tiniest natural inclusions dancing inside, like secret constellations trapped in a miniature world. Far from flaws, they’re the very details that make this garnet feel magical and one-of-a-kind.
The gem sits securely in upswept shoulder claws and further claws top and bottom for added grace and strength, while the shank carries that classic double-groove detail so loved in the 19th century — a gentle reminder of the era’s exquisite craftsmanship.
In remarkable condition for a treasure born in the Victorian age, it’s ready to slip onto your finger and feel instantly like it was always meant to be yours. Some pieces don’t just catch the eye — they quietly steal the heart. This is one of them.
