About This Piece
Crafted in France in the 19th century, this antique ring features a trio of rose cut garnets, two of which retain their original pink foil backing creating a vibrance and play of light within the stones. Set in 18ct rose gold, the warm hues of the garnets are beautifully complemented by the metal's soft glow. Its unusual construction suggests hand made, possible regional, craftsmanship
Why You'll Love It...
Beyond its beauty the symbolic trefoil, or "trèfle", adds a romantic and thoughtful layer of meaning often used to convey love and luck during this period

Condition
Good antique condition with some indications of wear and age to the metal and setting. The foil backing has disappeared on the top "leaf" of the trèfle so the stone shows a different colour and sparkle to the other two. It also has slightly larger top rose facets so it could be a replacement stone
