14k Gold Marquise Garnet and Diamond Cocktail Ring

This is a substantial 14k yellow gold cocktail ring featuring a prominent marquise-cut rhodolite-type garnet as its centerpiece. Based on the 14k gold designation and provided context, the central garnet displays a deep, saturate reddish-purple hue and is mounted in an elevated prong setting. Surrounding the central stone is a tiered halo or 'bombé' style cluster of small white diamonds, likely round brilliant cuts, which are set in what appears to be a rhodium-plated or white gold top to enhance their brilliance. Below this diamond cluster, the ring features a decorative gallery with an open-work scroll or filigree design, accented by additional small round garnets that provide a cohesive color story. The shank is a solid, polished yellow gold band. The overall construction exhibits a modern retro aesthetic, likely dating from the late 20th century to the early 2000s. The craftsmanship shows high-quality detailing in the multi-level gallery, and the item appears to be in very good vintage condition with no visible chips to the stones and minor surface wear consistent with age. This piece represents a significant fine jewelry investment owing to the combination of 14k gold, precious gemstones, and intricate setting work.
