Antique, Georgian large foiled green paste ring, circa 1800
An exciting foiled green paste stone ring. Later decorated with impressive gold work that depicts ivy leaves, the shoulders of this ring are equally as impressive as the kiwi-green stone. Paste is an imitation stone, and was a firm favourite of Georgian society. The art of crafting these stones was perfected in the 1730s, they are becoming exceedingly sparse nowadays, making this ring a real treasure.
