Description

This beautiful example of Mid Victorian jewellery is not only in lovely condition but was also made by a well respected Birmingham manufacturer who remains in business to this day.

The Fattorini company was originally established in 1827 by Antonio Fattorini who established numerous retail shops and manufacturing branches in Yorkshire and Birmingham, UK. The family run company has continued to produce high quality pieces throughout the 19th and 20th Century, and this particular ring is a fine example of their work.

It's condition is immaculate, save for some small scuffs to the Almandine Garnets (central garnet in particular.) The hallmark is complete and clearly shows the Birmingham anchor and the date letter for 1873. Alongside is the T.F makers mark for Thomas Fattorini. The reverse of the shank is delicately hand engraved and shows absolutely NO sign of wear whatsoever. This is quite remarkable when considering the engraving is so often worn on pieces of this age, or disjointed due to unskilled sizing jobs. The shoulders are also engraved and in mint unworn condition as is the scrolled setting. The Pearls have retained their luxurious colour and lustre and the Almandine Garnets display the sought after pink hue so definitive of their type.

The piece is set in 9 Carat Gold and is a unique and highly sought after item

It is a UK size Q, US approx 8
