    Ring1.jpg Ring2.jpg ring6.jpg Aring01.jpg I posted not long ago a brooch found by my grand-father in the attic of a house he bought in France. There was also this ring with the brooch. Really love the Fleurs de Lys on the side. I know it needs a good clean. I haven't wear it since I got it and has been in an individual box since. Probably same period as the brooch.

    It is beautiful, Byzance, and pretty rare.
    Perpignan garnets have that special 'light', if I remember correctly many are foil backed. I can't see if your main stone is, but the smaller ones could be.
    I think it could be a few decades older. Are those marks on the band?

    What a beauty! Be careful cleaning it, I know foil backed rhinestones can be damaged by getting wet, it corrodes the foil backing over time. Best to talk to an antique jewelry expert before doing anything :)

    Thank you for comments. It is darker than the other ring posted in photos but yes similar style. The back of the main stone has like a fine metal backing and the stone attached to the main ring with link rings same at this other ring. Thank you for finding it.
