Solitaire Garnet Ring 2.54 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent cushion shape red garnet, weighing 2.54 carats, with precise dimensions of 8.10 by 7.82 by 4.91 millimeters. The stone is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances table and pavilion facets to enhance scintillation and depth. Clarity is graded as eye clean when observed at eye level, and the gem displays vivid color saturation with an intense, consistent red tone. The polish has been assessed as excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and a lively surface luster. No treatments or enhancements have been applied to this garnet, and the material is traced to Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance noted for producing richly colored garnets. These combined attributes result in a natural gemstone that presents the visual impact and structural integrity expected from a premium specimen.

The mounting is crafted entirely in 14 karat yellow gold, selected for its balance of durability and classic warmth. The design employs a four prong setting, with each prong formed and finished to provide a secure seat for the cushion shaped stone. Prongs are tapered and rounded at the tips, and they are positioned to protect the corners of the cushion shape while maintaining an open crown to allow light to enter the gem. The gallery features supportive crossover bars beneath the stone, forming a stable undercarriage that resists lateral movement and distributes stress away from the girdle. The head is fully integrated with the shank, rather than merely soldered on, which enhances the connection between the stone and the metal body of the ring. These construction choices were made to prioritize secure retention of the gemstone for day to day wear, providing peace of mind without compromising the ring silhouette.

Craftsmanship extends to the finishing details, with mirror polished surfaces on the shank and a neatly executed junction between the shoulders and the head. The shank profile has been engineered for comfort and balance, allowing the ring to sit flat on the finger while keeping the stone visually prominent. The mixed brilliant cut of the garnet benefits from the open setting, which permits effective light return and reveals the vivid saturation and internal clarity that characterize this gem. Laboratory quality assessment was applied in the grading of clarity at eye level, and visual inspection verifies the absence of enhancements. Routine maintenance recommendations include avoiding harsh chemicals and physical impacts, removing the ring for heavy manual tasks, and having a professional jeweler inspect prong condition periodically, typically every six to twelve months. These measures, combined with the robust setting, help maintain the security and appearance of both the gemstone and the metal.
