Georgian Solitaire Ring with Lapis

Georgian jewelry is rare, but it is incredibly exciting when we encounter it! This original antique ring, dating back to around 1800 or slightly earlier, is a prime example of Georgian craftsmanship. The ring features a solid sterling silver collet-style setting atop a delicate gold band. The setting has a closed-back design that showcases a natural cabochon lapis lazuli in a stunning shade of cobalt blue. The gem is securely held in place using a combination of bezel-setting and tab prongs. The underside of the collet is beautifully detailed with intricate scrollwork and hand-engraved designs. Though the setting showcases exquisite craftsmanship, it's the sizable lapis that makes a striking impression—ravishing, rare, and carrying over 200 years of history.

Details: Original antique lapis ring in low-karat gold (approximately 10-12k) with a sterling silver collet setting, featuring an oval cabochon of natural blue lapis measuring 12x14mm, Georgian, circa 1800.
