Georgian Pink Foiled Quartz Ring

This Georgian ring is set with a vibrant pink quartz backed with engraved foil, which lifts the stone's colour and gives it a lively, glowing sparkle. The foil beneath the stone catches the light with real depth as the hand moves. The shoulders and band is finely engraved. It bears a later Victorian hallmark, a nice piece of history to find on a ring of this age.

Foiling was a clever technique used by Georgian jewellers to intensify the colour and brilliance of stones, particularly in the candlelit rooms of the period. Pink quartz was a popular choice for sentimental jewellery, and the glow of a foiled stone is quite unlike that of a modern gemstone.
