When John Benjamin from the British Antique Roadshow was asked what his recommendation was for people to collect , his answer was Georgian rings. Here is a lovely example of one. 

This ring should not be immersed into liquid because of the closed back, and opals.  To clean, use a Q-tip and dampen it with water (not soaked) and gently wipe.  Then pat dry gently with a soft cloth.
