Georgian Wedding 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.

Men's Georgian Garnet Ring from France with Deeply Carved and Engraved Shoulders

Located in Northampton, MA

This rare and stunning original Georgian-era men's ring features a 10.5 mm x 9 mm approximately 4-carat pyrope garnet cabochon bezel-set and closed-backed into an elaborately hand-engraved and carved mounting of the richest, most buttery 18K yellow gold that has developed a soft and smooth patina over the ages. It slides into the finger like a circle made of air. And it is absolutely perfectly comfortable. When you look at the stone face-on, it is dark. But move your hand even the slightest amount and you will see the sultry flashes of deep wine red and purple that reside within the gem. It's interesting, this ring. By day, it's all business: it's not flashy. The color of the garnet doesn't leap out at you like a spinel or a ruby. But at night, it's a different story. Lit by candles or a fire, beneath incandescent bulbs, the ring glows like a fine wine. It becomes romantic. It attracts the eye. It has certain magnetic qualities. It becomes a mysterious orb of light within wings of gold. A ring like this would have been worn by a man of great wealth and influence. Created in the early 1800s and almost certainly of French origin, this two-hundred-year-old ring is in absolutely beautiful condition. It has clearly been treasured and known no abuse in its lifetime. Georgian-era jewelry in general is rare; men's rings from the Georgian period are rarer still. This fine example would make a beautiful wedding band for a man. Or just a signature statement ring that telegraphs impeccable taste and pedigree instead of "bling." Of course, there's no reason why a woman couldn't wear this ring. And like 99% of all men...
