Victorian Quartz, Garnet & Marcasite Ring

Circa 1890. Crafted in 14KT yellow gold with a sterling silver top, this striking Victorian-era ring features a cushion-cut quartz center framed in a dramatic halo of rose-cut marcasite. Delicate demantoid garnets—rare green gemstones coveted for their fire—are set above and below the central stone, adding vivid contrast and antique charm. The silver-topped design highlights the lacy openwork and intricate metal beading, making this ring a beautifully preserved example of mid-to-late 19th-century craftsmanship. The ring is approximately a size 7.25.
