Victorian 18K Gold Cabochon Garnet Ring, Sheffield 1882

A deep, wine-red glow captured in gold, this Victorian cabochon garnet ring is the kind of treasure that feels like it has lived a hundred stories. The garnet, smooth and luminous, holds an inner fire—flashes of embers in the evening light, a warmth that never fades. Its high-domed cut magnifies its rich hue, while the setting, with its stippled texture and sculptural details, adds a refined elegance befitting its 19th-century origins.

Hallmarked for Sheffield, England, with a date letter "P" for 1882, this ring is crafted in solid 18K gold and bears the mark "V&S." The substantial 7.3-carat garnet is bezel-set, its soft glow enhanced by the warmth of the gold. Weighing 5.8 grams, this piece is a size 6.5 US, a rare survivor from the Victorian era, exuding both bold presence and delicate craftsmanship.

To slip this ring on is to step into another time—when jewelry was rich with symbolism, and a garnet was more than a gemstone; it was a promise of love, of passion, of eternity.
