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.

18kt Fairmined Ecological Yellow Gold Emily Posey Ring
Located in New York, NY
This beautiful soft scallop design is a distinctive motif that is truly ageless and modern. Originally designed in the Georgian Era, this posy ring was certainly ahead of its time. Handcrafted today in NYC by our master artisans, the Emily ring is a wonderfully heartfelt gift for a loved one. Our posey ring was named after famed poet Emily Dickinson for her contribution to poetry.
The posy ring was most popular in England and France during the 16th-18th centuries. Deriving its name from the French word "poèsie", this ring was named as such for the personalized engravings often found the interior (and more rarely the exterior) of the ring. These short inscriptions were mini "poems" professing love, fidelity, faith, and friendship.
At the height of its popularity, posey rings...
