MANDARIN FLAME
There is a shade of orange that exists in very few places in the natural world. Mandarin garnet is one of them.
Mandarin Flame is built around a 2.07 carat mandarin garnet, round cut, with a colour that burns from deep amber at the centre to a vivid orange that catches every available light. Flanking it are two half moon diamonds with round brilliants continuing down the pavé shoulders, all VS1 clarity and F colour, totalling 1.08 carats across 12 stones, set in 950 platinum that lets the warmth of the garnet do exactly what it wants.
The contrast between the orange of the stone and the cool white of the platinum is not accidental. It is the whole point.
Mandarin Flame is presented in an original Orloff of Denmark ring box.
ONE OF A KIND.

About Garnet
Garnet is one of the oldest and most misunderstood gemstone families in the world. Most people think of it as red. The reality is far more interesting. Garnet occurs in virtually every colour except blue, and the range of varieties within the family produces some of the most exceptional stones available to collectors today.
Demantoid, the rarest of the garnets, produces a green with a dispersion higher than diamond, and the finest examples come from Russia and Namibia.
Tsavorite, the intense green garnet from Kenya and Tanzania, rivals emerald in colour and surpasses it in clarity but falls short in recognition.
Spessartite brings a vivid orange that few other stones can match. The exceptionally vivid spessartines usually gain the trade-name Mandarin Garnet.
Hessonite, sometimes called the cinnamon stone, carries a warm reddish orange that deepens under incandescent light in a way that is entirely its own.
Rhodolite sits between red and violet, a colour so unique that it exists almost nowhere else in the gem world.
The highly coveted Malaia garnet from Tanzania and Kenya shifts between orange and pink depending on the light.
And colour change garnet, one of the most extraordinary phenomena in gemology, appears green in daylight and shifts to red under incandescent light.
What unites all of them is a hardness, a brilliance,
and a natural honesty that the garnet family has always been known for.
These are not stones that need assistance to show their best. They simply are what they are.
