Description
This is an 18k solid gold ring with a beautiful strawberry-purple colored umbalite garnet The stone is set in a clean box setting and the band has a single a row of gold balls framed by fine twisted wire.
Umbalite garnet comes from the Umba Valley in Tanzania and comes in a variety of shades and colors mainly in the violet or lighter redish-purple hues. This particular stone is clear, glassy with what I would call a strawberry-purple color because it is not red and it is not purple but more of a mix of the two.
The ring at its widest point is approx. 5/16” wide (at the front – top to bottom) and the band is just under 1/4” wide at the back.
