Antique ring with Perpignan garnets in 18-karat rose gold (750 thousandths). The marquise-shaped ring features a center navette-cut garnet surrounded by ten round-cut Perpignan garnets. The main garnet is mounted on a structure fixed by attachments/rings at the head of the ring. The Perpignan garnets are mounted on thin gold foils (paillons) and set in a closed setting. They typically exhibit a rare raspberry, pink-red color, typical of Perpignan jewelry, with a range of nuances that reveal themselves in sunlight. The ring’s shank is decorated with openwork flowers on the shoulders.
These faceted stones on top but flat underneath are referred to as “Perpignan cut” or “rose cut.” The gold structure is finely decorated with V-shaped triangular figures on the edges, and the gem settings have a domed bottom. This regional marquise ring dates back to the early 19th century in France.
It bears the following hallmarks: a horse head hallmark (1838-1919), an owl hallmark, and an illegible goldsmith hallmark. The ring’s finger size is 58 EU or 8.25 US (resizable at the risk of losing the hallmarks’ readability). The dimensions of the ring’s head are 21.8 mm x 11 cm. It shows signs of wear scratches.
Weight: 3.32 gr

Antique Augis ring “more than yesterday less than tomorrow” in yellow gold 18 karats (750), signed. The ring is surmounted by an oval plate delicately worked in laurel leaves, which have slightly faded with time. The ring is soberly decorated and separates into two strands of gold on the edges of the tray. The “+” sign is set with five diamonds and the “-” sign is set with a baguette cut treated natural ruby. This refers to a quote from a letter from Rosmonde Gérard, the poetess, to her love Edmond Rostand, the author of Cyrano de Bergerac: “For, you see, every day I love you more, Today more than yesterday and much less than tomorrow”. Inspired by these two lovers, Alphonse Augis takes up these verses in his “medals of love” by condensing them into “+ than yesterday – than tomorrow”.
