Description
Adorned with 69 exquisite rose-cut garnets, this stunning vintage cluster ring effortlessly radiates brilliance when worn on your finger. The three thoughtfully arranged rows of pyrope garnets capture and reflect light from all directions, captivating your gaze. Crafted in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s from gold-washed 900 silver, this statement ring showcases garnets renowned for their captivating inner glow.
Bohemian garnets came from the hills of Bohemia in Czechoslovakia and were very popular with the European upper class from the 1820s to the 1920s.

The ring is in good vintage condition with some noticeable signs of wear. The garnets are in good condition; none are cracked or chipped, but some have tiny nicks and abrasions on the facet junctions under magnification. The garnets do not wiggle and are secure in the mounting. The surface of the gold wash shows fine lines and marks, mainly on the inside of the band. The shank is stamped 900 (90% silver), G2 (Granat Turnov hallmark), and the hare’s head (the silver mark of Czechoslovakia). Dark patina spots on the band from years of wear were left behind after polishing.
The ring is a size 8.5 and cannot be sized. The head measures 1-1/4″ tall and 1/2″ wide, and the ring weighs 7.08 grams. The box is for display only.
