Ok, I listed these once before and pulled them down the very next day. It isn't easy to sell these rare beauties, but I am fundraising. Let's see if I am able to go through with it this time. If you like these, buy them before I chicken out. :)
Rare Garnet Suite
GA-1081 Rare Garnet Suite (J) 2.20 tcw., 4.7, 5.3 and 5.4 mm round brilliants [Gec:N].
The 4.7 mm greenish/gold garnet is a grossular from Tanzania. It is flawless at 10x and shows dispersion.
The pink 5.3 mm 'imperial malaya' changes to a lavender color in natural light and has tiny needle-like inclusions visible at 10x.
The 5.4 mm medium/dark orange spessartite is from Nigeria and is flawless at 10x.
This is a bright suite of rare garnets! These would be lovely in a multi-stone ring or pendant. Or, you could use them in different projects. They are really stunning and Barry's cutting is perfection as usual. Never set.
Per Barry: A rare garnet suite. I don't think I've seen a garnet quite like the greenish gold grossular.
