Description
Encrusted with 21 rose-cut garnets, this marvelous ring from the 1960s is Edwardian in style and set in gold over 900 silver. Made in Czechoslovakia, each garnet is prong-set in a pavé arrangement for maximum sparkle in the sunlight. Each garnet glows while the ring accents and elongates your fingers. An excellent piece for all seasons and occasions!
Bohemian garnets, which came from the hills of Bohemia in Czechoslovakia, were very popular with the European upper class from the 1820s to the 1920s.

The ring is in very good vintage condition with minimal signs of wear. The surface of the gold wash shows fine lines and marks, typical of vintage jewelry, with some silver peeking out on the sides and underside. The garnets are secure in their mountings, with no significant chips or cracks. There are tiny nicks along the facet junctions under magnification, but nothing noticeable. The inside of the shank is stamped 900, a rabbit’s head 3 (Czech made in the 1960s), and G for Granat Turnov (bohemian garnet manufacturer).
The ring is a size 6.25 and cannot be sized. The ring measures 15/16″ wide and weighs 5.32 grams. The box is for display only.
