Victorian 15ct Gold, Green Chalcedony, Ruby & Natural Split Pearl Ring

79W
80 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 15ct gold ring that was made in Birmingham in 1873. It has been claw set with shaped natural split pearls and rubies and chalcedony. Chalcedony is a semi transparent stone and dates back to Byzantine times. This example is a banded stone and has been cut through to contrast the white band with the green colour beneath. It is a pansy design that literally means “Pense a moi” a pun on the French words to “Think of me”. The Victorians were very fond of sending secret messages through the meaning or cutting of stones. The shank has been entirely engraved with scrolls. A pretty ring to wear as a dress ring.
