This delicate, historic ring is the definition of sleek. Those nine yummy garnets protrude from their sturdy authentic closed-back silver setting, lending a reflective effect typical of the Georgian Era.

Garnets have been a favored choice in human adornment for far longer than a couple hundred years, though. Egyptians and Greeks were all over this gorgeous stone. Greeks called garnets “nuktalopos” meaning “lamp stone”, believing that wearing a garnet around the neck illuminated paths. The Bible even gives garnets a nod. Noah, is said to have used a lantern made from garnets to steer his infamous Ark through the pitch black night. During the Middle Ages, garnets protected against the plague, cleared up sadness, and repelled evil thoughts. A remedy to the Medieval Sunday scaries, maybe? 

 There are nearly 20 types of garnets that come in all sorts of shades and hues, but the most popular, of course, are deep inky reds. The brooding crimson tone of these artfully aligned garnets provides a beautiful example of Georgian Era craftsmanship and creativity. An impressive, collectable cutie for the ages.
