The garnet has been loved as a gemstone since the earliest times. In the Middle Ages, dark red garnets were known as "carbuncle stones". The origin of this word is Latin: carbunculus means small, sparkling or red-hot coal and refers to the shimmering red garnet, which unfolds its deep color especially in sunlight. This ring sets such glowing red garnets in gold. The gemstones delight with their deep and rich color, and the stone set in the middle is unusually large. Due to a German hallmark, the so-called "Laurinmarke", we can date the ring to the years between 1936 and 1945. The mark was introduced in 1936 and was intended to guarantee a certain minimum quality of craftsmanship and material. It is named after the legendary dwarf king Laurin from the Rosengarten in the Dolomites, who was regularly used in the advertising of the time to promote Laurin jewelry: "From the shaft of the magic mountains / Laurin, the lord of the dwarves / Mines precious stones and jewels / For our adornment and feast for the eyes." The ring is in very good condition and came to us from Saxony.
