Striking vintage 'Picture Frame' ring made in France in the 1980s. It's set with a central 6 carat blood-red emerald cut garnet within a white diamond rectangular border. The split shoulders are elegant, leading round to an 18 karat white gold flat band. An open, wire-work gallery allows light in behind the stones to enhance their colour and brightness.
