Description
Antique Perpignan garnet ring in 18-karat rose gold. This marquise-shaped ring is centered with a navette-cut garnet surrounded by 8 round Perpignan-cut garnets. The main garnet is mounted on a structure attached by rings to the ring head, while the Perpignan-cut garnets are set on foils within a closed setting. They typically have a rare raspberry, pink-red color, which is characteristic of Perpignan jewelry. Their palette of shades is revealed in the sunlight. The ring’s shoulders are decorated with leaves, and the gold structure is finely adorned with V-shaped triangular figures along the edges. The undersides of the gem settings are domed. This is a regional ring from the mid-19th century, France.
