While many garnets tend toward darker, brownish or purplish undertones, these stones are exceptionally vibrant and alive with light, their colour intensifying as it dances within. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTogether, they have an approximate combined weight of 4.76 carats and are elegantly claw-set in open-backed settings. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe finely executed split-prong claws add a refined decorative detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNestled between the garnets are four small round brilliant-cut diamonds, providing a striking contrast to the rich crimson tones.
