Vintage 9ct Yellow Gold Almandine Garnet Ring - Birmingham 1975
Please note, boxes are for display only unless otherwise stated.
This striking vintage 9-carat yellow gold Almandine Garnet ring is a true statement of timeless elegance and craftsmanship. Fully hallmarked in Birmingham in 1975, it celebrates 50 years of history — a beautiful piece now marking half a century of enduring style.
At its heart lies a magnificent oval-cut Almandine Garnet, weighing approximately 3.7 carats. The gemstone glows with a deep, velvety red hue, rich with flashes of fiery crimson that dance in the light — the kind of colour that makes garnets so captivating and romantic.
The Garnet is securely held in a tulip belcher-style setting, featuring a graceful scalloped gallery that frames the stone perfectly. The substantial gold shank is both wide and smooth, ensuring a comfortable fit while adding a sense of strength and presence to the design. Despite its bold look, the ring sits low to the finger, making it easy and practical to wear every day.
Garnet, the birthstone for January, is said to symbolise love, passion, and vitality — qualities beautifully reflected in the warmth of this piece.
Elegant, bold, and full of vintage charm, this 1970s garnet ring is a stunning addition to any collection — a piece that wears its age with grace and glows with timeless allure
