Description

An antique gemstone seven row harem ring, set with amethyst, peridot, ruby, pearl, sapphire, garnet, emerald and diamond, with alternating sets of coloured gemstones, in collet spitch settings and pairs of grain set rose-cut diamonds, in rectangular silver-upon-gold boxes, on narrow gold bands, clasped and hinged at the back, with a French owl import mark for 18ct gold, circa 1880.

The legend is that "harem" or "Turkish" rings, of several gemstone set bands, attached together with a bar, originated in the Ottoman Empire. The Sultan would give the ring to his favourite.
