Antique Georgian Iberian Chrysoberyl Cluster Ring, 14K Gold Portuguese Spanish Chrysolite Ring, 18th–19th Century Jewelry

A rare and captivating antique Iberian cluster ring, believed to date from the late 18th to early 19th century, spanning the late Georgian and early Victorian periods.

The striking oval face features a central faceted olive-green stone surrounded by a radiant arrangement of smaller stones in varying shades of golden yellow and green. Delicate beaded detailing frames the centre, while the warm 14k gold shank contrasts beautifully with the silver-toned stone settings.

Set with chrysoberyl or chrysolite, this distinctive piece is characteristic of historic Portuguese and Spanish jewellery, with an elaborate radial design that is increasingly difficult to find.

In good antique/used condition for its considerable age, with gentle surface wear and a rich, authentic patina. The subtle variations in the stones' colour and brightness, with some darker than others, lend the cluster depth and character, creating a wonderfully individual timeless appearance.
