Antique Indian Braided Ring

This rare late 19th-century ring from India is a beautiful example of high-karat craftsmanship, featuring a braided design that has softened over the years from wear. Fashioned in rich, unmarked 22K gold, it has a solid, satisfying feel, weighing 6.86 grams.

The 6mm wide band, crafted with intricate texture, displays a timeless, weaved design that speaks to the artistry of Indian jewellery from this period. The ring is a UK size N½ (US size 7) and retains a unique historical character, combining durability with refined cultural heritage.

印度拥有世界上最古老、最丰富的珠宝传统之一。在莫卧儿皇帝治下，宫廷珠宝匠将波斯的精致与印度的工艺相融合，其影响塑造了此后数个世纪的印度珠宝。我们所寻得的作品大多可追溯至 19 世纪，为王公家族与富有的赞助人所制，他们佩戴珠宝以彰显身份、表达虔诚并祈求庇护。

印度古董珠宝以高 K 金打造，通常为 20K 或更高，并采用昆丹（kundan）镶嵌工艺，将宝石压入纯金箔中。扁平的台面切工“polki”钻石衬以金箔，使其熠熠生辉；背面与边缘则饰以红、绿、白等明艳色彩的珐琅。宝石的选择既重其美，亦重其寓意，例如九宝（navaratna）汇集九颗宝石，代表九大天体。
