Antique Victorian Garnet & Opal 15ct Gold Ring

This richly detailed Victorian garnet and opal ring is a captivating example of 19th-century (c. 1860s–1880s) sentiment and craftsmanship. Set in warm 15ct yellow gold (unmarked but tested), the ring features a striking trio of deep red garnets, interspersed with luminous cabochon opals that flicker with iridescent greens and blues.

The ornate gallery and openwork shoulders give this piece a beautiful antique presence, while the close-set stones and decorative claw settings add depth and drama. Each gemstone is framed with soft golden detailing that catches the light and reflects the intricate artistry of the Victorian period.

Although the original hallmarks have worn away with time — a testament to the ring’s age and wear — the design and construction are unmistakably antique. This ring would make a meaningful gift or an ideal piece for a collector who appreciates colour, symbolism, and history in equal measure.
