Antique Lapis Ring 10ky

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 is closed-backed, with a natural cabochon lapis of the deepest cobalt blue hue. The gem is a collet set, combining bezel-setting and tab prongs to secure the lapis. The underside of the collet is detailed with delicate scrollwork and hand engraving. While the setting shows finesse, the lapis is sizable and striking, making quite the impression on the hand. Ravishing and rare, with 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.
