One of the oldest known and most beloved gemstones, garnets are believed to shield its wearers from harm. Also associated with the heart, blood, inner fire and life force, garnets have long been considered symbols of love and friendship.
This vampy little ring would make a wonderful token of love to your betrothed or to yourself!
Handcrafted in beautiful 10k yellow gold, this late Victorian beauty is simple in design, yet complex with its intricately and artfully detailed shoulders.
However, the real showstopper is the single rose cut garnet centerpiece. It has so many facets that it dazzles like diamond. It is apparent that the lapidary who cut this stone took their time to create such a masterpiece.

Garnet has a couple of tiny chips on its girdle and a few light scratches and nicks on the surface, which is not uncommon given the hardness of the stone. All of these flaws are only noticeable under heavy magnification and not when worn. Ring shank has a faint demarcation line on the back from a previous resizing and it is slightly out of round because of it.
Cleaning and Care
Clean gently with warm soap and water and a soft bristled brush. Lightly polish with a jewelry polishing cloth, if needed.
