The Dark Rose

Contemporary Classics (1990–Present)†
Storied Find #: 023-26
Cast and assembled in 18ct yellow and white gold, approximately c. 1990–2000, The Dark Rose is a classic cluster ring: a deep almandine garnet — shifting between a saturated burgundy and a vivid crimson depending on the light — held at its centre in a white gold claw setting, encircled by a single halo of ten single-cut diamonds. The cluster head is set low and compact, giving the piece an intimate, almost brooch-like quality. The contrast between the warm yellow gold of the slender shank and the cooler white of the cluster surround is deliberate, a pairing that makes the garnet's red appear deeper by comparison.
Story of the Stone

Garnet has been carried as a guardian stone for more than five millennia — from Egyptian burial amulets to the sword-hilts of Anglo-Saxon warriors. Medieval Crusaders wore garnets to protect them in battle and ensure safe passage home. In Georgian and Victorian jewellery, that same protective energy was folded into the stone's identity as a gem of loyalty, fidelity, and true friendship — its deep red always the colour of a steadfast heart.
