Description
This is a simply gorgeous 18k solid gold ring. The piece is based on Balinese designs with a lot of intricate granulation around the bezel. The band has a row of gold balls down the center framed by twisted wire on either side.
This gemstone, Umbalite garnet, comes from the Umba valley in Tanzania and has beautifully saturated lavendar-violet color. It is clear and bright and free of any visible flaws or inclusions. This material is harder to find especially with color such as this.
The ring at its widest point is approx. 1/2” wide (at the front) and the band is just under 1/4” at the back.
