Georgian Garnet & Pearl Cluster Ring | 15ct Gold | c.1780

This Georgian ring is a beautiful example of late 18th-century design - quietly expressive, with detail that rewards a closer look.

Set in 15ct gold, it features a deep red garnet framed by natural seed pearls, arranged in a classic floral cluster.

Two further garnets accent the shoulders, each set against elegant scrollwork.

The pairing of garnet and pearl was popular for both its symbolism and its soft visual contrast: garnets represented love and protection, while pearls were often linked with memory, calm, and enduring affection.

Rings like this were typically worn for personal meaning as much as appearance: intimate, thoughtful pieces, chosen with care.

Well balanced in scale and character, this ring wears beautifully today. A timeless choice with just enough ornament to stand out, but not overwhelm.

UK ring size M. Very good antique condition.

Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
