Presenting the folie à deux, symbolizing a shared reality between two deeply entwined entities; a union between two complementary bodies.
Spessartine garnets are beloved for their orange-red color, ranging from a light yellowish orange to a deep reddish orange. The presence of manganese is what gives the stone those autumnal attributes. While some garnets are more common the Spessartine variety are rare, especially in larger carat sizes.
Combining a saturated stone like a Spessartine with a colorless diamond magnifies the luster of both stones. The color combination evokes the visual interplay of fire and ice as well as passion and purity. The Spessartine garnet embodies a fiery passion while the diamond represents the purity of eternal love.
We paired the unlikely but harmonious duo of a 1.74ct teardrop Spessartine Garnet with a 1.01ct cushion cut diamond (GIA I VS2). The way that sparkler accentuates the glowing umber depth of the garnet is an example of opposites working when delicately balanced and creatively matched. Fabricated in 18K gold, this ring takes ancient gems and places them in an incredibly modern design of an open-shank ring, which we love for its lighter, contemporary aesthetic.
