Description

This beautiful ring glows in the warm light of its red gemstones. An oval-cut garnet sits in the center, framed by two rows of other, smaller garnets that give it a festive, sparkling appearance. The ring is made from 8-karat gold, which harmonizes wonderfully with the red stones. Even in the Middle Ages, deep red garnets were known as "carbuncle stones" and were surrounded by special symbolism: it was believed that they could shine on their own. The term itself goes back to the Latin "carbunculus", which means "small, glowing coal" - an apt image for the mysterious red that makes garnets glow in the sunlight. The ring is solidly crafted and beautifully preserved. We date it to around 1970.
