Georgian Pearl, Ruby, Emerald Flower Ring Size:9.25 While Montana is best knownDATE: Georgian, c. 1830 An attractive and reasonably restrained (ie not absurdly over ornate, as they often are) late Georgian flower cluster ring set with rubies, natural pearls, and a central emerald. It's beautifully detailed, with stones resting in cut down settings, and a thistle motif to each shoulder. Always hard to resist saying 'thistle do nicely'. Crafted in 15 karat gold, it dates from the 1830s and remains in great condition. STONES
