ABOUT THIS RING

Garnets never cease to amaze; here is yet another outstanding stone. A 16.70-carat hessonite garnet--gleaming and glowing with glorious shades of honey gold and vibrant orange--shines all around, courtesy of 18 super sparkling round brilliant diamonds, punctuated east and west by small sprays of lively marquise diamonds. The captivating combination of color and all-out sparkle dazzles atop a luminous platinum shank. In a word, "Wow!" Total diamond weight, 1.12 carats. Currently ring size 6 1/2. A note about hessonite garnets: The crystal growth structure creates an optical appearance called roiling. It can be seen in the image but in person needs to be viewed with magnification. This large specimen stone also has some small apatite or calcite crystals typically found in hessonite, a few of which can be seen without magnification. The main source for hessonite garnets is Sri Lanka. Truly a special gem.

About Estate Jewelry

Though it calls to mind grand manor houses in the English countryside, “estate” is just a fancy way of describing any piece of jewelry with a previous owner. That’s pretty much everything in our collection. We tend to use “estate” to refer to pieces in our collection with a more modern or contemporary design, or vintage-inspired designs. These perennial gems are selected in harmony with our original antique and vintage pieces…they’re just a little bit younger!

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
