Description

This is a 0.88 ct / 6.02 mm Tsavorite garnet set into a platinum and diamond (tcw 0.45ct, G-H VS) pendant. I just had the prongs refined into claw prongs by David Klass. I call this my "unicorn" pendant because I had to search for *so* long to find the central tsavorite in this pendant. I had joked that finding a 6 mm round, well-cut, un-windowed, medium green tsavorite must be akin to finding a unicorn based upon how long my search took.

I finally found my unicorn thanks to Bruce Bridges, who said it was one of his top gems in this size range. I had it set in this halo pendant which goes super-well with my IDJ floral halo earring jackets. The diamonds are super sparkly and eyeclean.

This pendant makes a statement on the neck and the tsavorite always looks green in all lighting conditions. In bright sunlight, it can look nearly neon. Indoors in diffuse lighting, it's traffic light green. In dimmer lighting, it's still green and never blacks out.

I never thought I'd let this go, but I'm needing the cash so I'm looking to see if there's another good home for this out there :) I have this priced lower than the amount I put into it myself, and tsavorite prices have gone a bit nuts in the time since I purchased the center stone. I've seen some round tsavorites of similar size and color going for close to 2k without a setting!
