Georgian Band 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.

Early Georgian Skull and Crossbones Stuart Crystal Mourning Ring c.1740
Located in London, GB
An exquisite mid-18th century Georgian period mourning ring. The hexagonal crystal is inlaid with a memento mori skull and crossbones motif. This ring is steeped with history and is a remarkable example of early Georgian period Stuart crystal memorial jewellery.
This high-karat gold ring dates from circa 1741, and is set with a hexagonal faceted rock crystal. The ornately scrolled Rococo band is decorated with a gold inscription against a white enamel background, to memorialise Mary Denham who died at the untimely age of 29. The use of white enamel signifies that the Mary was unmarried.
The present ring with its white enamel (instead of the traditional black colour) is a particularly rare example of this design. Three similar examples can be found in The British Museum with another in The Victoria & Albert Museum. The inner band is stamped with the makers mark ‘JC’. A group of 4 rings by the same goldsmith are in the British Museum, and all of them also date from circa 1740. One of these is a very similar white enamel mourning ring...
