Georgian era 18K gold pansy cameo natural pearl diamond ring
This beautiful 18K gold ring from the Georgian era (circa 1832) is a beautiful example of 19th-century sentimental jewelry. At its heart lies a tiny agate cameo featuring a delicately carved pansy flower—a symbol of remembrance and thoughtfulness, derived from the French word "penser," meaning "to think of someone." The cameo is surrounded by a stunning halo of natural pearls and rose-cut diamonds, adding a touch of elegance to this already enchanting piece.
The ring’s shoulders are richly adorned with intricate floral black enamel, showcasing the craftsmanship of the era. Its design is not only ornate but also highly wearable and stackable, making it perfect for today’s jewelry lover. Inside the shank, you'll find the English hallmarks: "18" for 18K gold, a lion’s head indicating gold or silver objects, and the letter "J" signifying Birmingham’s date mark of 1832.
Remarkably, the agate cameo is in excellent antique condition, free of cracks or missing pieces—an unusual find for a ring that has lived through centuries. This stunning piece would make a thoughtful and timeless gift for a loved one.
