Antique Teardrop Garnet Ring
This breathtaking Victorian garnet ring began its life as an antique stick pin, a tiny treasure once meant to rest at a lapel. Now thoughtfully transformed into a ring, it’s been given new purpose while preserving every ounce of its original 19th-century charm.
At its heart sits an extraordinary garnet—rich, deep, and syrupy in tone. This antique stone seems to gather the surrounding light and hold it close, glowing like a smouldering ember. Its setting is entirely original to the period: delicate Victorian claws that rise around the gem like miniature gothic arches, creating a romantic, architectural frame that elevates the stone’s natural drama.
A true one-of-a-kind piece, rescued and lovingly reimagined in the atelier. Perfect for collectors of antique jewellery, lovers of symbolic gems, or anyone drawn to the dark, warm magic of Victorian design.
Symbolism ✶
In Victorian times, garnets were exchanged as tokens of eternal love and protection. But their deep crimson glow also held more mysterious meanings — associated with passion, vitality, and the supernatural. Garnets were believed to guard the wearer from harm and, in gothic folklore, were even rumoured to glow with an inner fire — the perfect stone for a soul drawn to the shadows. The deep crimson garnet is associated with love, protection, and eternal devotion, and in gothic lore, it symbolizes vitality, sacrifice, and passion. Said to glow like fire in the darkness, garnets were often seen as talismans — for lovers, travellers, and perhaps even the undead...
Whether you’re a collector of antique jewellery, a lover of gothic elegance, or simply someone who appreciates the romantic beauty of a bygone era, this ring is a striking, one-of-a-kind piece.
A talisman for the nocturnal, the nostalgic, and the romantically cursed.
This ring is a perfect gift for antique lovers, gothic romantics, and collectors of unique, soulful jewellery.
