We are delighted to offer this magnificent antique Georgian 18ct gold ring made in London 1831 with marks for Thomas Gaunt.
Upon a quick glance, this ring exudes a spectacular and majestic air with its soft antique butter/champagne gold tone and wide profile leaving a lasting impression.
The ring features a most wonderful tiered design with a scalloped/flower-like edge on both ends with multiple layers of height forming a border around the central section. The central portion has been profusely engraved with further decorations and spells out "in memory of" in gothic lettering.
The gauge of the gold used in combination with its depth makes for a very solid and satisfying feeling ring most apparent when holding in hand and is a true testament to its fine quality and exemplary Georgian goldsmithing.
Furthermore, what is particularly delightful with this ring is the full set of English gold hallmarks which are present on the inner shank. Smaller gold articles of this period often did not have hallmarks/only partial marks, thus an example with a full set (maker, date, town, assay, 18ct mark) contributes to its historic value and collectibility in its own right.
A gold ring which otherwise could have been a simple single band without any embellishments or gemstones, yet this particular piece combining the best elements of elegance, craftsmanship and history in one culminates in a distinguished statement piece.
Such a combination of fine goldsmithing and historical interest makes for a distinguished choice for antique jewellery lovers. Whether be it for wearing as a contrasting piece of jewellery among other pieces or as a bold single ring, such a piece is bound to be a conversation starter and a wonderful manner to express your passion for fine jewellery and antiques.
A very special ring for a special individual or as an indulging gift to oneself.
All of our jewellery comes with a complimentary hard shell gift box with a velvet interior.
