Georgian Rings
GEORGIAN STYLE
Georgian jewelry is named for the monarchies of the four King Georges, who in succession ruled England starting in 1714 (plus King William’s reign, which lasted until 1837). A slew of beautiful pieces were produced during the period, and today antique Georgian rings, necklaces and other accessories are coveted by fine jewelry collectors.
There are certain features that distinguish jewelry from this era, including the fact that pieces from the 18th and early 19th centuries were handmade (so don’t let the absence of a maker’s mark lead you to believe otherwise). Antique Georgian jewelry also has a certain “look.” It’s a bit gray because stones were often set in silver, and because stonecutting techniques were not as advanced as they are today, the gems do not possess the level of sparkle to which we have become accustomed.
Intricate metalworking techniques such as repoussé (the hammering of metal into ornate designs) and cannetille (a method of working the gold wire to make it look woven) allowed goldsmiths to really flex their muscles. These gold pieces, either on their own or combined with gemstones, made for highly original and dramatic jewelry. The era also saw pieces with ornately woven strands of human hair.
Pearls, along with colored gemstones like garnets, rubies and sapphires, were widely used in Georgian jewelry. These were often cut in the shape of a cabochon or teardrop. It was fashionable to combine garnets or rubies with seed pearls. In Georgian diamond rings, popular cuts for diamonds included rose, old mine and table. Around the 1780s, paste jewelry, or hand-cut glass on foil, was used to imitate diamonds.

Antique George IV Mourning Ring, Amethyst and Pearl
Located in NEWARK, GB
This charming antique George IV Mourning ring is simply beautiful!
At first glance it doesn't appear as a mourning piece and has a cheerful and graceful feel to it.
This has so many elements of earlier Georgian styling to it, borrowing it's design from times before with the central lustrous Amethyst bejewelled with a halo of creamy seed pearls.
The amethyst is a good size and has a lovely vivid hue with vibrancy and twinkle from the facets.
The reverse is engraved with a personal inscription, dated 1824 and bears full UK hallmarks though these are quite rubbed.
It has a replacement 9ct gold band, later 19th century.
A charming antique mourning ring...
