The main garnet is mounted on a structure attached by clasps/rings to the ring head. The ring is soberly decorated with a gadroon on each shoulder. The gold structure is finely decorated with triangular V-shaped figures on the edges, and the back of the bezels is domed. These stones are known as ‘Perpignan’ or ‘rose’ cut, and are faceted on top but flat underneath. These garnets have a beautiful raspberry-pink-red colour. Regional ring, mid-19ᵉ century, France.
