Exquisite Garnet Cabochon Gold Ring for Women – Elegant Jewelry Gift for Birthday, Anniversary & Special Occasions

From the firm of Bippart, Griscom & Osborn (or Bippart, Bennett &Co.) formerly of Newark, New Jersey, hails this one-of-a-kind ring.

Newark was formerly the hub of many of the finest designers and producers of jewelry in America.

If you don't own it yet, treat yourself to a copy of the book, "The Glitter & the Gold: Fashioning Americas Jewelry" edited by Ulysses G. Dietz. Yes, a descent of former President Ulysses Grant. Mr. Dietz was curator of the Newark Museum's Decorative Arts for decades.

The setting in rich yellow gold rivals that luscious garnet. In 14k yellow gold, two ornate intertwining curvaceous elements with a crown of frills grace each side and shoulders. A finely detailed bezel hugs the natural garnet.

Its weight of 9.55 carats adds to its almost candy-like sheen in carmine red with hints of fiery orange.
