Georgian Garnet Love Knot Ring sodalite A cute antique charm depictingDATE: Georgian, c. 1820 Cool Georgian love knot ring dating from the early 19th century, circa 1820. The head features a foil backed garnet nestled with a tightly wound "knot" of gold wire that continues around to the shoulders where it's coiled around the band. The foil behind the garnet makes it glow brightly as light bounces back out through the stone producing a vivid blood red colour. It's crafted in 15 karat gold throughout. STONES Garnet
