Antique Daisy Ring, Garnet and Diamonds

This antique daisy ring , made around 1900 , is a perfect example of Belle Époque jewelry expertise. Its timeless design highlights the warm radiance of its central stone and the finesse of its gold setting.

The frame is in 14-carat gold (585 thousandths). In the center, a spessartite garnet of approximately 1.50 carats stands out with its luminous orange hue. The stone is enhanced by a halo of ten old-cut diamonds, totaling approximately 1 carat, which accentuate its brilliance and bring a subtle shine to the whole.

Why do we love this ring?

Spessartite garnet is a rare and fascinating stone. Unlike more common red garnets, spessartite displays a warm hue, somewhere between deep orange and luminous amber, sometimes enhanced with subtle golden hues. This stone is named after the Spessart Mountains in Bavaria, where it was discovered in the 19th century. Highly prized for its exceptional brilliance and transparency, it was particularly prized in European imperial jewelry. Its vibrant color symbolizes energy, creativity, and passion, making it much more than a simple ornament.
