Offering up one of my very favorite pieces that I've ever owned. This ring was made for me by Yvonne Raley, the gem was sourced by her as well. It is a beautifully Portuguese cut merelani mint garnet. The gem is 6.3 mm round, and I can't recall the exact ct weight, but I know that it was very close to (but under) one carat. It's such a gorgeous mint, it was my favorite gem for quite awhile. It sparkles beautifully.
It is set pretty simply - it is bezel set in an airline bezel, in 14k YG. The bezel was placed on top of the band per my request, bc I wanted it to stack more easily with another band. It stacks very well. The band is about 2 mm by 1.25-1.5 mm; it's not a terribly thick band, but it is sturdy and not fragile at all. It is a size 7.5 and size able. The gem and setting are in good condition; the only "flaws" I can see are some light scratching/normal wear on the gold setting. The gem is pretty well protected in the bezel.
I'm pretty firm on the price; (I'm only offering this one bc I've bought a larger mint that I have plans to make a ring with, but if it doesn't sell I'll probably make this ring into a pendant of some sort). It's priced well below what I have into it. (Price just reduced, one time only).
Picture three shows it next to the band I wore with it; it's not officially for sale but if there was interest in buying both, we could discuss it. It's 14k YG, size 7.75, with tsav accents that go really well with the mint (made custom for me by Winged Lion). The last pic shows the mint loose, before setting. It isn't as accurate for color, but it does show the cut pretty well.
