Ophidia in 14k Gold with Spessartite Garnet
The Ophidia Ring draws inspiration from the sinuous beauty and intricate texture of serpents. At its center is a 3.18ct natural, untreated spessartite garnet from Nigeria, cut by John Dyer & Co. in his signature StarBrite™ cut. Four sculpted snakes surround the garnet, their heads rising around the center stone with their tongues forming the prongs that hold it in place. Kite cut lab diamonds with E color and VVS2 clarity sit between the serpents on either side, while a detailed snakeskin texture continues along the band. Hidden beneath the center stone, bezel set lab diamonds and orange sapphires adorn the bridge, adding an unexpected layer of color and sparkle visible from the profile. This ring is ready to ship in a size 7 or can be resized with a 1–2 week lead time. Includes certificate issued by John Dyer & Co.

Your 14K gold ring with lab-grown diamonds is designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Here are some best practices:
- Keep it away from harsh chemicals – Household cleaners, chlorine, and strong acids can damage both the metal and the diamond’s brilliance. Avoid exposing your jewelry to these substances.
- Store it safely – While lab diamonds are highly durable, they can still scratch other softer gemstones. Keep your jewelry in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in your jewelry box when not in use.
- Clean it gently – A little warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush will keep your lab diamond sparkling. Avoid harsh abrasives that could dull the metal setting.
- Wear with care – Though lab diamonds are incredibly hard, the metal setting may still be prone to wear. Remove your ring when engaging in strenuous activities or handling abrasive materials.
- Professional maintenance – Have your ring professionally inspected and cleaned every 6-12 months to check for loose stones and ensure its lasting brilliance.
