A modern day definition of a relationship of love that is now passed from one romantic generation to the next.

A deep garnet-red oval stone sits at the center of six pearl cabochons, the whole cluster raised on a heavily textured gold setting with beaded and ridged shoulders — Avon's Roseglow is one of those pieces that borrows directly from Victorian cluster ring tradition without apologizing for it. The underside carries a clear Avon © stamp, and the craftsmanship throughout is more considered than most costume jewelry of its era. Bold enough to be the only ring you wear, grounded enough to mean something.
