A silver and 14K gold ring is prong-set with a vivid green Russian demantoid (6.8 x 5.6 x 4.6 mm, approximately 1.50 ct). The shoulders of the ring are embellished with small single cut diamonds set in silver over gold.

The demantoid has some prominent horsetail inclusions, a unique feature of demantoids from the Ural Mountains.
