Early Australian jewellery is becoming so sought after, and here is a lovely antique green garnet and diamond ring by Levinson in the early 1900's.
Hand made in 18 carat yellow and white gold, in the centre is a incredibly vibrant natural green tsavorite garnet that measures 0.30 carats. Garnets are more commonly found in a deep rich burgundy-red colour, however unbeknownst to many people, garnets naturally come in an array of colours such as purple, orange and of course green as can be seen here.
Surrounding the garnet are nine European cut diamonds that total 0.72 carats and encircle the garnet so beautifully and highlight the ring as a whole perfectly. This top cluster section measures 10.7mm in diameter and sits so well on the finger.
Looking at the ring from the side shows such beautiful detail that went into hand making this ring all those years ago as does the elegant hand carving on the shoulders.
Perfect for any finger and any occasion, this lovely antique ring will always be admired and loved.
