Garnets are associated with love, life blood, and the human heart. Because of its similarity to pomegranate seeds, is also symbolic of friendship, and the safe return of loved ones, just as Persephone returned from the Underworld to her mother every Spring, in Greek Mythology.
This striking antique ring has a faceted central garnet, with two smaller garnets and four seed pearls as accent stones. Set into an architectural shank, she has a structured and official appeal. A partial inscription remains, with 'President" a legible segment. Perhaps a memento given as appreciation for the president of a sorority or club, she is still a wonderful keepsake of time gone by!
