An unusual Edwardian demantoid garnet & diamond ring.
 
This beautiful ring has a central bright mixed oval cut demantoid garnet in a slightly raised rubover setting within an openwork marquise design. This ring makes wonderful use of negative space, this is a typical Art Nouveau design style. 
 
Along the outside of the ring there are four small old cut diamonds. These well matched diamonds are in a delicate millgrain setting.  
 
Typical of the Edwardian era, this elegant ring is set with a platinum head onto a yellow gold plain underbezel leading to split shoulders each set with a small diamond. 
 
The ring is beautifully low set to the finger and a fabulous example of Edwardian craftsmanship.
 
This ring would have been originally designed and made as a 'dress ring' and as such we would not recommend it for 'heavy' everyday wear due to the fact that demantoid garnet is a relatively soft gemstone.
