A c1790 dark rose colored natural zircon set in a foil-backed bezel and mounted as a ring. As found, but it was probably adapted into a ring from a single earring or a button. Built in rosy-colored 9K gold and silver. English. Note that rings of this period are not well suited to everyday wear. Care should be taken especially not to submerge them in water as moisture can become trapped behind the stone.

Currently a size 7-1/4 and could be resized in the 5 to 8 range for $75.
