This ring boasts a rare species of garnet called tsavorite. And it glows! The depth of colour and lively nature of this forest green centre stone rivals that of a Colombian emerald. What is more, they are more hard wearing and practical than an emerald. I love the soft cushion-shape of this enchanting stone. Either side are two large diamonds, the setting is great quality, it is a special ring indeed.
