Edwardian 18ct Gold & Platinum, Green Garnet, Diamond & Natural Pearl Flower Cluster Ring

505W
280 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very pretty 18ct gold ring with a platinum top that was made circa 1910. It has been set in platinum with a natural bouton pearl in the centre with six green garnets around it with small diamonds within scalloped settings in between.  Green garnets or Demantoid garnets as they are known, are wonderful stones that are a lovely apple green colour. Although garnets have been known since ancient times, the demantoid variety was not discovered until 1868 in Russia’s western central Ural Mountains. Miners were immediately stunned by the highly refractive nature of the gem material. They began comparing it to diamond and referred to it as “demantoid”, from the French “demant” meaning diamond. The reason is obvious, with its high brilliance and dispersion. These bright apple green stones are comparatively rare and very expensive. The effect is beautiful with pierced and millgrain detail throughout.

When worn it sits low on the finger so it is a practical ring to wear.
