Vintage Victorian-Style Emerald-Cut Blue Chalcedony and Garnet Statement Ring

This is an ornate, statement-style ring featuring a large, vertically set emerald-cut semi-precious stone, likely blue chalcedony or blue agate, characterized by its soft, translucent teal or cerulean hue. The central stone is held in a rub-over bezel setting. The primary stone is flanked at the top and bottom by two smaller, rectangular emerald-cut stones that appear to be dark garnets or possibly black onyx, adding a sharp color contrast. The mounting is constructed from a yellow metal, likely 10k or 14k gold, or high-quality gold plating over sterling silver, consistent with Victorian-Revival styles from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s–1970s). The perimeter of the central bezel is embellished with a decorative 'granulation' or beaded texture, contributing to an antique aesthetic. The overall construction appears solid, with a wide, substantial shank visible behind the finger. Condition-wise, the ring shows signs of light wear and tarnish consistent with age, particularly in the recessed areas of the beadwork, which adds an attractive patina. There are no immediate signs of significant chipping to the stones, though micro-scratches are visible on the flat facets of the blue stone under close inspection. The craftsmanship suggests a commercial production designed to emulate high-end Victorian mourning or cocktail jewelry.
