Description

The wine-red color, clarity and good play of light of this oval faceted AA-grade garnet make it an appealing choice for custom jewelry designs of all types. Traditional red garnet derives its deep color from iron and magnesium. Garnet exhibits few inclusions, and those that are present tend to be rounded, seedlike crystals with irregular edges. Garnet is the birthstone for January.

Garnets are actually a family of closely related stones. The most common color is red; but garnets are also found in green, orange, pink and blue.

The oval cut is an even, symmetrical shape but elongated. The arrangement of its facets is similar to that of a round brilliant, designed to maximize light and color.
