Qty:
The Russian demantoid garnet is among the rarest varieties of the garnet, and this spectacular example displays an especially vibrant green hue. Designed in the 1980s by famed jeweler Julius Cohen, the oval brilliant cut stone weighs 4.02 carats and exhibits a level of refraction that rivals the finest diamonds. It is certified by the American Gemological Laboratories as being from the Ural Mountains of Russia and is completely untreated with excellent color stability and transparency. This exceptional garnet is surrounded by a radiant burst of white diamonds totaling 2.50 carats, all beautifully set in 18K yellow gold.

Given its high level of refraction, it is little wonder that the demantoid garnet's name means “diamond-like,” and for this stone, the description is most fitting. These garnets exhibit an incomparable brilliance and fire, and have been a favorite of collectors since their discovery in the Ural Mountains in 1868. Admired as the most elite among gemstones, they were employed frequently in the renowned designs of Russia's royal jeweler, Peter Carl Faberge, and have become extremely rare ever since. These garnets display a wide variety of colors, and once cut, only a few stones weigh more than two carats—making this ring an astounding treasure.
