A deep merlot faceted Rhodolite Garnet is enveloped by a solid, substantial 22k gold setting that is buffed to a matt sheen and decorated with granules of gold, inspired by the style of the ancient Etruscans. Old methods of melting and alloying 24k gold and forming and drawing down wire to make the band, and rolling out the sheet, were all used in this labor of love. 
 
Ring fits true to size and will fit US size 6.5 to 6.75. It can easily be resized to a 7 upon request.  Band is 3mm wide, and stone is 8 x 8mm faceted square. This ring makes a great stacker. 
 
Contact me if you are interested in a bespoke high carat gold ring in a similar style, with or without the granules. A ring without the granules will run between $1,100 to $1,200 depending on the size.
