This charming antique English Georgian era gold swivel ring dates to the the early 19th century, circa 1820. 

It is set with a fully rotating bright orange carnelian panel, beautifully cut and polished with bevelled edges.  

Typically these carnelian swivel rings would have been engraved with a name, and used to seal off letters in wax (in the days before self-adhesive envelopes!). However this one, amazingly, remains unengraved despite its 200 year old history, a truly rare find. 

The ring is unmarked but tests as 15K gold. The shoulders feature typically Georgian repousse-work shoulders with scrollwork and buckle motifs, which lead to a reeded shank.

UK size Q, US size 8, the ring weighs a total of 4.4 grams. The carnelian panel measures 14mm x 10mm. 

Both the stone and the ring are in great condition. The ring is very comfortable to wear and sits flat on the finger. 

A golden age for jewellery design, boasting intricate designs inspired by nature and classical mythology. The style reflects the elegance and refinement of the 18th century with the use of diamonds, pastes and intricately worked Rococo settings.

Georgian jewellery is named after the four King Georges of England, an era which lasted from 1714 to 1837. Pieces of Georgian jewellery are handmade works of art, expertly crafted to be treasured for generations. They often used rose-cut and flat-cut stones with large facets that were often foiled to enhance their natural beauty. These pieces were reserved mainly for the aristocratic upper classes, with each piece individually crafted by a highly skilled hand.
