SOLD Antique French18K & Foiled Perpignan Garnet Ring

  Perpignan garnets were found in the Alpine region of Perpignan, at the border of France and Spain. Only mined between the 17th and 20th centuries, they are less common than other varieties. Sought after for their strawberry pink hue, they remain coveted by garnet lovers throughout the world.

This gorgeous, glowing ring features a large emerald cut Perpignan garnet at its center. The custom of foiling a gem allowed the reflection of the foil to shine through the stone, making it seem to be lit from within. Framed in seventeen round cuts, it makes a very pretty package! The 18 karat yellow gold shank has open work scrolling vines and a little clover, the perfect setting for such a special gem. A must-have piece for anyone who loves to accessorize with a little drama!
