About the Russian Demantoid Garnet:
Demantoid is the green variety of andradite garnet, celebrated for its remarkable brilliance and high dispersion, often described as diamond-like fire. Its name derives from the Dutch word demant, meaning diamond, a reference to the gemstone's exceptional optical properties.
Russian demantoid garnets became particularly desirable during the late 19th century following discoveries in the Ural Mountains. Their vivid green colors and fiery brilliance attracted European jewelers, including the workshops associated with the Russian imperial jewelry tradition. Fine Russian demantoids remain among the most sought-after varieties of garnet.
This pendant features a 1.21-carat Russian demantoid displaying a transparent yellowish-green color and oval modified brilliant cut. Its documented Russian origin is an important characteristic, distinguishing it from demantoids sourced from other deposits around the world.
About the Pendant Design:
The pendant's ornamental goldwork recalls the elaborate gemstone jewelry of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, when demantoid garnets were frequently incorporated into decorative floral, botanical, and openwork designs.
The central oval demantoid is framed by smaller green gemstones arranged in individual yellow gold bezels. The elongated setting creates a layered composition, with open spaces between the stones allowing light to pass through the design.
The combination of a GIA-documented Russian demantoid, complementary green gemstones, and intricate 14K yellow gold construction gives this pendant a distinctive connection to the historical jewelry traditions associated with Russian garnets.
