14k Victorian Chrome Pyrope Garnet & Seed Pearl Ring | Yellow Gold

This antique ring features a 14k yellow gold setting adorned with a chrome pyrope garnet and natural seed pearls. The garnet, measuring 11 x 7mm and exhibiting a mixed cut, is estimated to weigh approximately 2.3 carats. Its deep, rich red hue, characteristic of chromium-infused pyrope garnets, is difficult to accurately depict in photographs. Collectors will recognize the rarity of sourcing larger chrome pyrope garnets, making this piece an exceptional value compared to current market prices for loose stones. Flanking the garnet on the North and South sides are approximately 2.0mm off-round natural seed pearls. The ring has undergone a complete reshanking in the early 1900s, featuring a simple tapered half-dome shank stamped with 14k. The original top of the ring, showcasing a rosy yellow gold color along with the garnet, dates back to the 1800s, while the minimalist design of the newer shank beautifully highlights the garnet as the focal point.

Weighing: 2.9 grams.

Measuring: Ring size is a 7. Measures 17.0mm in length across the top with the shank starting at 2.64mm wide tapering down to 1.64mm wide at the base.
