All auctions / Jewellery & Gems / Ring - 18 kt. Yellow gold - Georgian ca. 1820
This charming Georgian wedding band, circa 1820, is a stunning example of masterful craftsmanship in 18K warm yellow gold. The delicate filigree and granulation work, featuring small gold balls and refined twists, are hallmark techniques of the era. The ring carries subtle marks, hinting at its long history and adding to its unique character. Wearing this piece is an extraordinary opportunity to own a slice of the past, blending romantic symbolism with the timeless beauty of a bygone era. Antique jewelry object group: ring, wedding band Condition very good condition Country of origin Netherlands Style Georgian - Georgian style is the name given in most English-speaking countries to the set of styles current between 1720 and 1840. It is eponymous for the first four British monarchs of the House of Hanover—George I of Great Britain, George II of Great Britain, George III of the United Kingdom, and George IV of the United Kingdom—who reigned in continuous succession from August 1714 to June 1830. See also: Georgian Period ca. 1820 Material 18K warm yellow gold (touchstone tested) Technique This jewel features a filigree decoration, which is in fact thin gold wire twisted into refined motifs, in this case elegant little balls. You can also notice the use of granulation on this piece. Granulation is a technique where the goldsmith uses very small balls (granules) of metal, which are not soldered to the piece but welded. Both techniques demand very high skills and precision from the maker. Hallmarks On the outside of the ring is a flowered V, alongside a stamp that somewhat resembles the italic letter 'i'. Additionally, there is a lozenge shape that could be a stamp, though it may also be a sign of damage. The V was used between 1817 and 1831 for smaller domestic works.
