Victorian Bamboo Garnet Ring
An unusual and striking ring from the late Victorian period, c1880s. The ring tests as 18ct gold and the shank is a wonderful bamboo design. The sides and shoulders of the shank exhibit the remainder of pretty, decorative engraving, which has worn over time, though maintains its charm. The bamboo design is fairly unusual for this period and I love to see it in this ring. At the top, a lovely deep red garnet is simply bezel set. The facets cast the light around the surface and there is a hint of dark and stormy about the gemstone.
