Early 19th Century 15ct Gold Pansy Ring set with Opals & Emeralds

463Y
80 Admirers Just Added Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

I am a great fan of early 19th century rings and this example is a gorgeous ring. It was made circa 1830 and is 15ct gold. It is composed of a pansy set with five evenly matched opals with emeralds in between and an emerald in the centre. Each of the shoulders has also been set with three emeralds within a scroll motif. The pansy motif was often used in early jewellery as it was a pun on the French expression “Pense a moi” “Think of me” so it would have been a gift of love from an admirer.

A special ring to wear with care.
