Gorgeous Georgian Garnet & Gold Cannetille Dome Ring

This gorgeous 18k gold cannetille dome ring is encrusted with fabulous almandine garnets. The top of the ring is embellished with a six-petaled flower that floats above the elongated dome; the petals are pear-cut garnets, and a single white pearl forms the blossom's center. Each closed back, foiled garnet is set in the delicate cut back collet popularized in the Georgian era. Exquisite gold wirework frames the garnets and forms layer upon layer of glittering plait that edges the ring. In the 1920s, the opulent ring top was applied to the 14k gold gallery and band. The smooth, curved gallery and slender, sculpted band hug the finger perfectly. Circa 1820-1920.
