An unusual antique Victorian scarf ring with a sculptural X-shaped gold-plated frame and a bezel-set garnet-red glass cabochon. Delicate rope edging frames the glass, while curved fabric loops create a dimensional, open design.
Condition: Very good antique condition with light patina inside the frame. The glass cabochon is secure and free of damage.
Fabric threads through the loops, allowing the ring to function as a scarf slide. There is no locking mechanism, so choose fabric with enough fullness to keep it securely in place.
