Late Victorian Sterling Silver Garnet Cluster Ring
Circa 1880-1900
A late Victorian sterling silver cluster ring set with faceted garnets in a raised crown setting.
In the 19th Century Garnets were associated with constancy and protection, their tone ranging from claret to near-black in low light - a quality that appealed strongly to late 19th-century taste.
The mount is substantial and architectural. The open setting allows light through the stones while giving the ring a structured profile. The silver has developed a soft patina consistent with age.
This piece sits comfortably within the Gothic revival sensibility of the period. A strong example of Victorian garnet work, suited to collectors drawn to darker 19th-century aesthetics.
