To find out more about the gemstones in this ring:
Provenance
This vintage solitaire ring was made during the 1940s and is set to centre with a hessonite garnet, claw-set in an open-back setting. The garnet has such a rich and fiery hue, it has that beautiful syrup-like appearance characteristic of the hessonite garnet variety.
The shoulders of this ring are so unique, an open-work lover's knot motif flanks the garnet on either side, hand wrought in 18ct yellow gold. The gallery is intricately pierced with a linear design and the shoulders taper to form a solid D-shape shank.
