A large garnet takes center stage in this striking antique ring, which found its way to us from Barcelona. Garnets are among the oldest gemstones known to humankind. Even in ancient times, people prized their deep red colour and often used them as gemstones set in gold. In the 19th century, they were regarded above all as stones of love. Their colour, reminiscent of glowing coals, made them a symbol of deep affection, lasting friendship, and passionate devotion. It was therefore not uncommon for garnet rings to be given as engagement rings or tokens of love. The garnet set here displays that warm, rich red hue that has made this gemstone so popular since time immemorial. Its unusual teardrop-shaped table cut gives it a serene aura and creates a charming contrast to the lively sparkle of the rose-cut diamonds. Ten rose cut diamonds sparkle in pinched silver settings, forming a precious frame for the red gemstone set in gold. Richly ornamented ring shoulders transition into a wide band of high-karat gold, giving the piece of jewellery a powerful yet harmonious appearance. We date this unusual ring to around 1880.
