Celtic Demantoid Garnet Ring 1.23 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a beautiful, transparent demantoid garnet weighing 1.23 carats, cut in a cushion shape and fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to maximize fire and sparkle. The stone measures 7.15 x 5.67 x 3.74 mm, a size that balances presence with everyday wearability, and exhibits intense color saturation in a yellowish green tone that is both vivid and refined. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that the gem reads clean to most observers while retaining the natural character and integrity that collectors appreciate. The polish is excellent, and importantly, there has been no enhancement to the stone, so you are acquiring an unenhanced, natural demantoid with a verified origin from Madagascar. Demantoid garnets belong to the andradite species and are prized for their lively dispersion and saturation, qualities that set them apart from more common green gems, and a Madagascar provenance adds contemporary rarity and geographic interest for informed buyers.

The mounting is executed entirely in 14K yellow gold, a classic and complementary metal that warms the yellowish green tones of the demantoid and enhances overall visual impact. The setting secures the stone with a refined prong construction that lifts the gem slightly above the shank, allowing light to enter the pavilion and interact with the mixed brilliant facets for enhanced brilliance and scintillation. The band features sculpted shoulders that draw the eye toward the center stone while maintaining a comfortable profile for regular wear. The combination of an expertly cut demantoid, excellent polish, and a thoughtfully engineered 14K yellow gold setting creates a harmony of optical performance and jewelry craftsmanship. For the knowledgeable buyer, the absence of treatments and the documented Madagascar origin are meaningful attributes that preserve both aesthetic and intrinsic value.

As a statement piece, this ring projects confidence with subtlety rather than loudness, making it ideal for someone who values distinction and expert provenance. At 1.23 carats, the demantoid is large enough to command attention and showcase its intense color and dispersion, yet restrained enough to be worn daily or for important occasions, signaling refined taste. From an investment and collection standpoint, natural demantoids with intense saturation, minimal eye visible inclusions, and no enhancements are relatively rare, and mounting the gem in 14K yellow gold both highlights the stone and maintains robust wearability. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the gemological details provided, and we encourage serious buyers to request additional documentation or an independent appraisal if desired, because transparency and verifiable origin matter when assessing long term value. This ring is a harmonious blend of rare material, considered design, and honest disclosure, a piece that will confidently announce your presence while rewarding you with enduring beauty.
