Georgian Solitaire Ring with Lapis

Georgian jewelry is scarce- but oh, so exciting when we find it! This original antique ring, circa 1800 or slightly earlier, is an excellent example of Georgian jewelry. The ring is crafted with a solid sterling silver collet-style setting atop a delicate gold band. This setting features a closed-backed design with a natural cabochon lapis of the deepest shade of cobalt blue. The gem is a collet set, combining bezel-setting and tab prongs to secure the lapis. The underside of the collet is intricately detailed with delicate scrollwork and hand-engraved designs. While the setting shows finesse, the lapis is sizable and striking, making quite the impression on the hand. Ravishing and rare, with over 200 years of history.

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