Meet the Georgiana: Her name matches her regal nature. She's polished, ornate, and fit for royalty. Named for the oh-so-stylish Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, this rock crystal ring dates to the Georgian Era, though it specifically evokes the fashionable themes of the Rococo: Her band is a bright, buttery gold, decorated with shell motifs that evoke the sea. No detail went unnoticed by this skilled craftsman; even the prongs are ornate, with a unique, grooved shape that hug the rock crystal. This piece is a real treasure that evokes a period in time, one filled with light pastels, afternoon teas, and shell-like architecture.
The Georgiana is a US size 9, or UK size R. She is in excellent condition for her age, with the prongs appearing secure and the gold remaining bright. No markings but tests as 14 karat gold. No visible cracks in the band or the stone. Light scratches visible on the surface of the gold, but all commensurate with age and wear.
