This Art Deco hessonite garnet ring with European-cut diamonds in antique style is crafted in lavish platinum, weighs 10.1g and measures 17mm wide and 10mm deep. In elaborately detailed and classically distinct style, this impressive, exquisitely crafted Art Deco style ring combines the characteristic geometrical lines and Architectural Revival inspiration inherent in the Art Deco jewelry design. It exposes an outstanding 18.32ct highly refractive and very rare cushion-cut hessonite garnet measuring 16.27mm long and 14.09mm wide, graded 'vivid pigeon blood' color and 'very good' clarity secured by finely chased, quatrefoil elongated prongs. This eye-catching, vividly colored hessonite garnet, ranked amongst the rarest of the planetary stones and seldom found in such a size with such an exceptional clarity for a garnet, is exposed atop a pierced openwork gallery comprising Oriental motif arcade profiles, highly ornate scrolls and glowing diamond collets. Elaborately designed, diamond-studded, tri-dimensional shoulders of stylized triumvirate format and delicately mille grained linear intersections complement the bejeweled gallery, cumulatively collet and bead-set with 2.00cts of European-cut diamonds graded H color average and VS2 clarity mounted entirely within artfully mille grained contours. The gracefully tapering shoulders merge into a tri-dimensional platinum band and an easily sizable shank.

As an increasingly rare gemstone, Hessonite Garnet is amongst the most highly prized varieties of Grossular Garnet. The most sought-after specimens of Hessonite Garnet are those displaying an evenly distributed bright golden-orange color. Popular for thousands of years, the ancient Greeks and Romans used Hessonite Garnet from which to carve cameos and intaglios while Vedic astrologists believe that Hessonite Garnet was a powerful talisman that increased one's lifespan and happiness.
