Many Georgian and Victorian almandine garnets possess a pink-purple hue that is occasionally mistaken for amethyst.
Yet their highlights are brighter and fall on the fuchsia spectrum rather than a pure grape purple color, giving them a distinctive look all their own. In this antique ring, they razzle-dazzle with hot pinks and plum tones.
Five of these gemstones are faceted in oval shapes and graduate and taper down each side. Their total weight is 2.5 carats, and the five resonate with colors lush enough to make the mouth water.
Between each garnet is set a pair of diminutive rose cut diamonds, 8 in all for a total weight of .08 carats (color H-I, clarity SI1-2).
Made of 18k gold, the gallery underneath forms a coronet design to uphold the gemstones and diamonds.
