2.46 Vintage 1960s Garnet Cocktail Ring in 10k

This Mid-Century cocktail ring features a floral cluster of garnets set in 10K yellow gold. The center holds a .48 carat round garnet surrounded by six 4.0mm round garnets weighing .33 carats each, totaling 2.46 carats. Garnets in this deep red color show their characteristic wine-red to burgundy tones that deepen in larger stones and cluster settings like this one. The round cut maximizes the garnets' natural color saturation and creates consistent sparkle across all seven stones. The floral arrangement positions the stones close together, creating a substantial surface area that gives the ring presence on the hand without excessive height.

Mid-Century cocktail rings from this period were designed to make a statement, with bold clusters and substantial scale typical of 1950s-1960s jewelry design.
