An pretty 18ct gold cluster ring that was made circa 1900-1910. It has been claw set with a green garnet with ten claw set old mine cut around it. 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\u2019s western central Ural Mountains. Miners were immediately stunned by the highly refractive nature of the gem material. They began comparing it to a diamond and referred to it as \u201cdemantoid\u201d, from the French \u201cdemant\u201d meaning diamond. The reason is obvious, with its high brilliance and dispersion. These bright apple green stones are comparatively rare and very expensive and were used in Edwardian jewels such as this pretty ring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
