A most spectacular ring causes an extraordinary amount of chit-chat among a group of women while lollygagging about on a day of sharing appetizers and shopping. Here’s the conversation overheard that day…

Did you catch a glimpse of that magnificent ring on the hand of that chic woman over in the corner? It must be one of those fabulous rhodolite garnets. I can see the blazing color from here.”

“Waitcan you count the number of diamonds (and I venture to say, yes, all brilliant cuts) in the surround?” “Give me a momentah, yes fourteen sparklers and with a total of 1.40 carats (H-I color; VS2-SI1 clarity).”

“And my favorite…the outer edge arranges all the diamonds in a pointed radiant star shape, it adds that special something.”

“Yes, that garnet looks like almost a 4 carat, and that azalea red, plum, and hot pink colors. I’m green with envy; such a garnet of exceptional clarity.
