The garnet, although used as a gemstone since ancient times, celebrated a particular heyday in the middle of the 19th century and then appeared again and again in subsequent eras. In addition to the Bohemian garnets, which were mainly found in smaller rough stones in riverbeds, larger garnets were also found in the English colonies in particular, which were then brought to Europe, often already cut in the country where they were found. These magnificent dark red stones often came from Rajasthan and were soon brought to Europe with the British conquest of India. In the case of this ring from around 1930, you can see a presumably Indian garnet in an unusual bufftop cut. Here, the underside of the stone is faceted, while the top has been cut into a cabochon. The cushion-shaped red center stone is accompanied by a total of four rose-cut diamonds on the shoulders. The garnet is set in a reddish gold, the diamonds in platinum. All settings are closed at the sides and decorated with beautiful floral engravings. The adjoining ring band is then made from yellow gold. The result is an unusual but harmonious gradation of colors in a small space. In the language of gemstones, garnets are regarded as symbols of love and in this ring, this connotation is reinforced by the diamonds used, as diamonds stand for infinity in the language of gemstones. A warm, shiny, enticing piece of jewelry that can be worn every day and is an instant hit. The ring found its way to us here in Berlin.
