This extraordinary Georgian-era ring is a true work of art, steeped in history and symbolism, likely crafted for the elite of its time. Handmade in 18K rose gold, this museum-worthy piece features intricate details and a timeless design.
At its center is a pristine cabochon moonstone, so clear that you can see right through it, surrounded by a halo of nine old mine-cut white diamonds that radiate elegance and refinement. The upper shank has an angled cut, attaching at the base of the setting to create a visually striking, suspended effect. The craftsmanship extends to the shank, where intricate symbolism and details are on full display
One side of the shank: A hanging banner with internal sand-cast work, showcasing a sword and scales motif. In the Georgian period, this imagery represented the dual forces of power (the sword) and impartiality (the scales), predating the modern depiction of the blindfolded Lady Justice.
Other side of the shank: A tablet design engraved with “LEX”, a medieval term symbolizing a body of laws or legal order.
This ring is truly one-of-a-kind, with no comparable designs found in auctions or online searches. It is a timeless piece of history, embodying both elegance and the weight of justice.
Perfect for a serious collector or anyone who values the artistry and stories of the past, this ring is destined to be treasured for generations to come!
