Hand carved Umbalite Garnet ring
This ring was born of a collaboration between expert gem cutter, Mark Nuell & ourselves. Precision faceted in Jim Perkins oval design this gemstone has incredible life and depth of colour.
The ring was sculpted in wax to hold this gorgeous 7.95ct Umbalite garnet, then cast in warm 18ct red gold & finished it with four sparkling brilliant diamonds, including two beneath the centre stone to keep as the wearer's secret. We've documented some of the process, from the faceting of the gemstone, to the hand carving & final piece. Watch the video below to see the piece evolve.
This piece is available from our Exmouth Market atelier and for worldwide shipping.
