Description

A really fabulous, impressively-sized antique English Arts and Crafts ring, which has been hand-crafted. It is a lovely design with groupings of three hand-tooled leaves coming up the sides of the ring to meet at the two bezel set carnelian cabochons. It is a super Toi et Moi statement for love, in an Arts and Crafts design. Impressive on the finger, and solid, whilst being amazingly comfortable to wear.

The carnelians are glowing orange and shift in their orange hue as you move the ring or go from one light to another. They are open-backed so that has really helped to preserve their purity of colour. Sometimes with closed-back rings, water or cleaning fluid gets under the stone and it compromises its look. Not here thankfully-bright, glowing, bright orange stones. The leaves are worked lightly by hand to give them a central vein feature.

It is a squat, heavy and true ring which feels just wonderful to wear. Very eye-catching and will be sure to get admiring glances. From the 1920-1930 era and in excellent condition. Some patina you can polish away if you prefer.

It is approx UK size P.5 (approx US 7.75) so it is a slightly larger ring than you usually find…hurrah. The length of the ring face is approx 2cm.

I will send in a new ring gift box by complimentary tracked and signed post.  Boxes in images are not included. Thank you.
