Edwardian Rhodolite Garnet and Diamond Ring
Irene Byrne & Co
We are loving the colour on these Rhodolite Garnets. What a pretty ring this is! From circa 1910, we have three Rhodolite Garnets sets with two old cut Diamonds, claw set in 15ct rose gold. This ring can be worn on its own or stacked with other rings. It could even work as a wedding band with the ‘right’ engagement ring.

Edwardian & Belle Époque Period (1901 - 1910):
Named after the reigning King Edward VII and with notable influences from French Rococo décor, this period was the shortest in antique jewellery history. However, it was during this time that platinum was introduced into the art of jewellery making which changed the way diamonds could be set. The popular jewellery design at the time was the “garland” which flowed on from the Art Nouveau period as it focused on nature but more particularly, on flowers and leaves often arranged in some circular shape. Through the use of milgrain and pierced and engraved metals, the Belle Époque designs gave way to jewellery that mimicked the delicate nature of lace and ribbon with natural pearls and old mine cut diamonds being the material of choice.
