Victorian Garnet & Diamond Starburst Ring | 14k Gold

This Victorian ring is a beautiful example of late 19th-century design, where rich color and subtle symbolism came together in everyday jewelry. Crafted in solid 14k gold, the ring centers on a softly textured, Florentine-finished disc detailed with a delicate diamond starburst - a motif long associated with guidance and protection.

Surrounding the center is a halo of fifteen deep red garnets, each faceted and hand-set to create a warm, dimensional frame. The garnets are housed in a slightly raised, scalloped gallery, giving the ring presence without bulk and allowing it to sit comfortably on the hand.

This is an easy piece to wear - refined enough to stand on its own, yet perfectly suited to mix with your other favorites. A ring that feels personal, considered, and effortlessly wearable.
