Garnets
  
Rhodolite Garnet 3-Stone Ring.
All Rhodolite Garnet, all the time! Rhodolite Garnet has a
distinctive purplish cast to the red that no other Garnet can match.
This is a delicate ring that still has a lot of power to make itself
noticed. The center stone is Opposed Bar cut on the surface of the
Bridge shape, and measures 10mm x 6mm. The Princess cut stones at
each side, mounted on the point for the novel effect it provides, are
each 5mm x 5mm. This is a customized mounting using a Tourmaline
head for the center stone to keep it open for more light diffusion.
It is $225.00.
  
Unique Mozambique Garnet Ring.
Another wonderful shape for those of you who like
it like that. This Marquise cut, Mozambique
Garnet measures 3.5mm x 8mm. Mounted here in
this unusual setting, it is sure to bring a barrage
of compliments! It is $75.00.
  
Garnet & Citrine Ring.
This is a custom design; a Shield cut Garnet from
Mozambique and a pair of Golden Orange Citrine
Trillions. The colors look amazing together!
I think the picture far right best represents the
colors here. The remarkable Shield cut in the
center measures 10mm from point to flat plane, and
8mm across the wide end. The Trillions are 5mm
each to a side, so this ring has a lot of presence,
and is one of a kind. It is $145.00.
Mozambique Garnet, Hexagon Cut Solitaire Ring.
WOW. What a treasure we have here!
The pictures clearly show you the very unusual
hexagon cut of this wonderful 8mm (measured from
flat to flat, not from point to point) Garnet from
Mozambique. What they cannot show you is the
sparkle, fire, and dance of this intensely red
stone. There is not even the smallest hint of
muddy brown to the red. The nasty brownish
garnets come mostly from Madagascar and Brazil.
I have never found garnets with color more perfect
and desirable than these beauties from Mozambique.
Cost a bit more, and worth every penny. The
6-prong mounting serves to secure the stone without
hiding any of the marvelous cutting. Unique
and precious, it is $85.00.
 
Mozambique Garnet Fancy Shield Cut Ring.
This is another of my favorite Fantasy Cuts, the Long Shield. As you
will notice, there is an apex at the top line of the stone as well as at the
bottom. The center stone here, measuring 15mm x 9mm And weighing 5cts., is
a VS clarity Garnet from Mozambique. I prefer the Garnets from Mozambique
over all others for their extremely good clean color and bright flashing fire.
Garnets from Brazil and from Madagascar and other places are less expensive, and
this shows in the brownish tones and color zoning so common in the lesser
garnets. For a patriotic touch with the red of the Garnet and the white of
the Sterling Silver, we have accents of Swiss Blue Topaz, round cut. A
pear cut mounting was altered to accept this stone. A real beauty for you
at $135.00.
