Hello January! This fabulous glossy garnet is the most delicious example of the richness of these plum jam toned stones. This garnet is in lovely condition and in the sunshine it acts as though it has a fire burning inside it - just look at the reds and oranges as they leap like flames. We are suckers for double claws and these double pairs of talon claws in white gold are such a lovely example. 

Surrounding this are 12 single cut diamonds - all grain set in the white gold halo face. They are hand cut and each has different personality - some are included, others set at a slightly jaunty angle - they all add to this 50 plus years old beauty. 

The basket of the halo is a lovely decorative hand pierced design and we adore the delicate look and the antique feel of this design,

Set on a yellow gold band and basket-base - we love the mixed metal and thoughtful design of this fabulous ring.

FAQ

Sizing

What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.

We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.

Current prices are: $40 for sizing down, $40 for rhodium plating (all white gold rings), and sizing up starts at $50 - and depends on the carat of gold, width of band and number of sizes. These are subject to change at any time and remain linked to the volatile changes in precious metals.

Time frames - sizing is usually complete within 3 weeks.
