It has been rub over and millgrain set with a green garnet surrounded by eight well matched rub over set old mine cut diamonds . The early 1900s celebrated new stones especially stones such as the green garnet in this ring.
The proper name for green garnet is “demantoid” garnet. Although garnets have been known since ancient times, the demantoid variety was not discovered until 1868 in Russia’s western central Ural Mountains. Miners were immediately stunned by the highly refractive nature of the gem material. They began comparing it to diamond and referred to it as “demantoid”, from the French “demant” meaning diamond. The reason is obvious, with its high brilliance and dispersion.
These bright apple green stones are comparatively rare and very expensive as they are no longer mined.
It would be a perfect and unusual engagement ring.
