Antique Natural Pyrope Garnet Sterling Silver Ring (6.75)

ANTIQUE | Natural Pyrope Garnet 925 Ring (6.75) Size: 6.75 Weight: 3.42g Marked: 925 Gemstone: Pyrope Garnet, Faceted Oval Size: 7x5x3.5mm Carat Weight: 9.55 This particular species of garnet is known as Pyrope-Spessartite Garnet. This semi-precious gemstone is prized for its highly vibrant, nearly neon red hue with spectacular flashes of red-orange. Under magnification the gemstone shows the characteristics of having been hand faceted by an artisan. The coarseness of the finish is considered appealing to most gemstone collectors. The high quality contemporary setting was manufactured by one of the USA’s leading semi-custom mount producers. It is constructed of solid sterling silver and marked 925. This gemstone possesses superb luster and sparkle, and to the eye is completely transparent. However, the surface of the stone shows a hairline scratch, but this doesn’t detract from its luster and vibrance.
