An evocative example of late 18th-century sentimental jewellery, this Georgian-era ring is set with a heart-shaped garnet and flanked by rose-cut diamonds and additional garnets in a classic half-hoop arrangement. Made in Germany circa 1780, it combines elegant Rococo design with the emotional symbolism characteristic of the period.The ring is crafted in 14K yellow gold with silver used for the diamond settings, as was typical of the time. The central garnet is foil-backed and set in a heart-shaped bezel, a form associated with fidelity and romantic attachment throughout the Georgian era. The floral, swirling c-curl shoulders are modelled in gold with delicate Rococo detailing, contributing to its sculptural presence.Rings of this type were often exchanged as love tokens or engagement pieces, and the use of heart motifs was particularly fashionable in German and Austrian court circles in the latter half of the 18th century.Ring size: UK O / US 7.25Band width: 2mm at backWeight: 2.8 gramsCondition: In very good and wearable condition for its age. Structurally sound with all stones secure.This is a beautifully preserved and wearable example of 18th-century sentimental jewellery, rich in historical charm.
