Considered one of the rarest and most expensive varieties of garnet and made wildly fashionable by Tiffany in the 1970s this extraordinary 4 carat green Tsavorite garnet ring is designed in a lucky 4-leaf shamrock or flower motif.
Tsavorite garnets were only discovered in 1967 and so far they have only been found in east Africa, on the border area between Tanzania and Kenya.
Superb quality and crafted in thick buttery 14ct yellow gold this ring features 4 emerald green oval garnets that are claw set in a quatrefoil shape with a white gold rhombus shaped cross in the centre set with a little diamond. Gently curved spoon shaped shoulders tapering to a slim gold band completes this very unusual and distinctive ring that is an absolute statement of femininity and beauty. The garnet is mined in a rainbow of colours, it is the birthstone for January and is considered a great gift to symbolize friendship and trust!
The ring is accompanied by an independent jewellers valuation of $3,200, the report is from an independent US based gemologist jeweler with no connection or vested interest in our business.
