Vintage 9ct Yellow Gold Almandine Garnet Ring - London 1979
Please note, boxes are for display only unless otherwise stated.
At its heart sits a generous elongated oval Almandine Garnet weighing approximately 4.5 carats — a rich, deep red with that luscious, glowing intensity that catches every ray of light and flashes beautifully with the slightest movement of your hand.
The stone is elegantly floor-set into a gently curved gallery with just the softest touch of decorative detail, keeping the focus firmly on the Garnet’s dramatic colour and size.
A simple, half-round shank gives the ring a clean, classic silhouette and a wonderfully low profile, so it sits comfortably on the finger and feels effortlessly wearable from morning to night.
Fully hallmarked for London with the 1979 date mark, this piece remains in simply lovely condition for its age. It’s the kind of understated vintage ring that punches well above its weight — feminine, eye-catching, and easy to wear every single day.
A beautiful example of late 1970s British jewellery that proves sometimes the simplest designs are the most enduring.
