Adorned with 55 exquisite rose-cut garnets, this stunning vintage cluster ring effortlessly radiates brilliance when worn on your finger. Three thoughtfully arranged rows of pyrope garnets surround a lovely center garnet that captures and reflects light from all directions. Crafted in the 1960s from gold-washed sterling silver, this ring showcases garnets renowned for their captivating inner glow.
Garnet jewelry has a centuries-old history, from ancient civilizations to the Victorian era and the Arts and Crafts movement. Prevalent in royal regalia, religious artifacts, and mourning jewelry, garnets symbolized power, protection, and enduring beauty. The 1960s saw a resurgence with intricate designs, and today, garnet jewelry blends historical significance with contemporary styles, maintaining its timeless allure.
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 head is slightly loose and giggles when shaken. The surface of the gold wash shows fine lines and marks, mainly on the inside of the band, and wear of the gold wash on the band. The shank is stamped STERLING.
The ring is a size 6.5 and cannot be sized. The head measures 3/4" tall and wide, and the ring weighs 5.74 grams. The box is for display only.
