I am back from my inventory trips to Europe and listing an assortment of hand picked antique jewelry which I have selected one at a time from around the world. Some examples seen in the last photo - thanks for stopping by!

ABOUT:
I would consider myself a member of the Ring Butt Lover's Club and here is a personal collection release from said enthusiasm.
Georgian era rectangular flat cut garnet in 18k gold with scrolled shoulders, wavy shank, and domed scalloped, beautiful back / booty.
No hallmarks remain but sold to me from a reputable source in Europe and tested to confirm. They dated it to around 1780.
Antique boxes, props, staircases and bannisters ; ) not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
MEASUREMENTS:
Size 5 1/2. , The garnet is 6.5x5.5mm, weighs 1.9g.
Some slight abrasions to the garnet but a lovely sheen to the eye. Some wear and unevenness to the bezel with slight gaps seen under magnification. The stone is a secure but I would keep an eye on the bezel and recommend gentle wear due to age and the closed back.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
