Before the cut
From rough stone to custom jewelry
Garnet rough hides a deep wine-red glow until it is cut. We set garnets into rings and pendants with rich, warm color. Tell us if garnet caught your eye and we will start your design.
What to look for
Pyrope and almandine run purple to orangy red. Spessartine is orange. Grossular goes all the way to vibrant green.
Red garnets are usually eye clean. Some orange garnets often show inclusions.
Garnet is a family. Red is common, green demantoid and tsavorite are the rare ones.
Demantoid and tsavorite are rare in large sizes, so value climbs fast with size.
