A rare and stunning 15ct yellow gold ring from the Victorian era. Set with three panels of seed pearls with a central red stone. A central red spinel and rubies either side.
 
Victorian jewellery was full of symbolism, this ring design often symbolised being bound together with the three panels representing past, presence and future. Vibrant red stones symbolised passion, romantic love and vitality whilst also offering the wearer protection. The seed pearls symbolise purity, innocence and modesty. Together they represent a pure and passionate love. 
 
Quite a special piece with a beautiful history.
