Vintage and antique garnet jewelry has been around for a long time.
Garnets have been used for adornment going all the way back to the Bronze Age. While we will never know if garnets can be used to prevent plagues or heal warriors, as has been suggested, we do know that both the Egyptians and the Romans felt that it was a worthy stone to set in gold for their nobility. In more “recent” times, garnets were ubiquitous in Victorian jewelry. The “G” in REGARD rings, the equivalent of the modern-day engagement ring, implied garnet.
Garnets were also highly valued in the region of Bohemia. The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History has in its collection an antique hairpin with Bohemian pyrope garnets from the Czech Republic. Bohemian pyrope got its name from Bohuslav Balbín, sometimes referred to as the “Czech Pliny,” in 1679. Abundant in the region, it was used often in jewelry during this time. In fact, it became so popular that in 1762, Empress Marie Terezie forbade its export. Stonecutting workshops opened in several regions across Bohemia, and pyrope became the country’s mineralogical symbol. While there was never a decline in its popularity, it was only in the mid-20th century that garnets enjoyed a revival.
Garnets can come in many shapes and sizes — one of the largest ever discovered is a 68.82-carat Tsavorite garnet. This stone is also in the collection of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.
According to the Gemological Institute of America, Brazil’s mines are rich in garnets, including spessartine, which can also be found in the Myanmar area, recognized for a specific shade of reddish-orange. While red garnets are the most popular, garnets actually come in a medley of colors.

Vintage three-stone rings are pieces of jewelry adorned with three individual gemstones.
In 2001, De Beers launched the “Past, Present and Future” ring with a trio of diamonds and helped establish the three-stone ring as a staple jewelry piece. When it comes to modern engagement rings, many couples on the search for the perfect ring choose three-stone rings for their appeal and symbolism. When the Duchess of Sussex’s three-stone engagement ring was unveiled, it instantly piqued the interest of ring buyers and future fiancées.
Some popular gemstone cuts for three-stone rings include emerald, square and round. Three-stone rings can feature gemstones that are all the same type or a mix that varies in color, size and type. The three main size styles for these gemstones are graduated, slightly graduated and equal. Each of these styles differs in its carat weight. The rings can also be made from various metals such gold, silver, yellow gold or platinum.
Three-stone rings frequently have a slightly curved silhouette that makes them a great pairing for wedding bands or a foundation for a stacked design. You can add other rings such as an eternity band (an ideal choice for a wedding or milestone anniversary), a versatile band ring or a solitaire to contrast minimal pieces with more ornate statements.
The three-stone ring is an iconic accessory that will endure through time. Browse an assorted collection of vintage three-stone rings on 1stDibs, each featuring different gems and wedding-band styles.
