Antique Onyx Flower Ring of 10k Gold

Antique ring featuring a charming giardinetti motif composed of pearls, rubies, and a pink sapphire arranged as a floral bouquet set atop a polished onyx plaque. Diamond-set shoulders provide additional sparkle to the 10k gold band. The giardinetti, or “little garden,” was a beloved jewelry motif of the Georgian and Victorian eras, symbolizing abundance, beauty, and enduring affection.

This unique piece was thoughtfully created from an antique 18k gold stickpin head from the early Victorian era (circa 1840) and a 1920s signet ring, preserving historic elements from two distinct periods in a wearable and visually striking design.

The ring face measures approximately 0.65 inches by 0.5 inches and weighs 3.39 grams. The ring is currently a size 4 and can be marginally resized for an additional charge. It remains in great condition.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming 10K gold construction.
