This striking modern 9-carat yellow gold Almandine garnet and diamond half-hoop ring is a captivating piece that beautifully blends bold colour with refined craftsmanship. 
Designed in a classic finger-hugging half-hoop style, it curves gracefully along the finger, offering both comfort and elegance in equal measure.

At its heart are five graduated round faceted Almandine garnets, together weighing approximately 3.0 carats. Their rich, deep crimson hue—tinged with subtle undertones of wine and fire—glows warmly against the polished yellow gold, creating a look that is both dramatic and timeless. 

Enhancing their beauty, eight tiny round brilliant-cut diamonds add a touch of sparkle, with six of them cleverly set into the claws that hold the garnets. The bright white brilliance of the diamonds contrasts exquisitely with the intense red of the Almandine garnets and the radiant yellow gold, giving the ring a luxurious, light-catching allure.

Though undeniably a statement piece, this ring’s low-rise, finger-hugging design ensures it sits comfortably and elegantly on the hand. It looks stunning worn alone yet pairs beautifully with other rings—such as a diamond eternity band—for a layered, sophisticated look.

Fully hallmarked with 9-carat gold and the London Assay Office’s leopard head, this ring is a perfect harmony of modern design and classic charm—a piece that commands attention while remaining effortlessly wearable.
