Tanga Garnet is a hot magenta/pink rhodolite/pyro-almandine garnet that occurs in the Tanga Province of Tanzania. What distinguishes it from normal every day rhodolite is its really intense electric magenta color making it very desirable as a wearble gem in jewelry and also as an investment collectible. This stunning gem is an intense magenta as pictured with secondary flashes of purple. It is a showstopper! It is expertly cut in the USA in a beautifully faceted Brilliant Oval.
It is a natural, earth-mined, non-treated stone, that is extremely brilliant and beautifully faceted. It would make a fine center stone for a custom made ring or pendant, or a great addition to your gem collection. It has a lovely magenta shade, tons of fire and a great shape for setting in a piece of jewelry. I bought this collector's stone with the intention of having it set by Alex Sepkus, but, have not had the time to have the ring made. Photos do not do it justice, it was impossible to photograph! I took tons of photos on this stormy snowy gray day and my camera would not cooperate and capture the beauty of this stone!

What an amazing ring! A large oval garnet is set in a crown prong setting surrounded by Victorian/Georgian/Edwardian detail with rope borders, granulation or beaded edges, and a rope style band. This ring is so lovely. The garnet measures roughly 8mm tall and 6mm wide. It's an oval cut, and I believe it is a rholodite garnet. It's a lovely wine red, and when held to the light has a purplish red color, not the brown color of a pyrope garnet. The garnet in this ring is lovely. The ring design is lovely. The front of the ring is 17mm tall north to south, 14mm wide east to west, and the ring rises 7mm up above the finger. The ring is a size 7 (opening is 17mm in diameter) and the ring band is a twisted rope and is smooth and lovely and has a perfect oval shape that complements the finger rather than a round ring, so this fits so comfortablly. The ring is yellow gold (unmarked) and weighs 3.98 grams. I am not sure of the exact age of this ring. My mother bought it from a fine jeweler that specialized in high end fine jewelry and estate jewelry before I was born, so the ring is definitely over 42 years old if it were a new at the time but I think it was an estate piece. However, the ring is in immaculate and in like new condition because my Mother didn't wear it and stored it safely. Unfortunately, it was too big for her later on. Due to the all rope design of the band, I would not recommend that the ring be resized, but, an artisan jewelry might be willing to resize it. This is a gorgeous ring! My photos do not do it justice!
What a gorgeous ring. A true Victorian ring, set in silver, holding a large oval faceted garnet, surrounded by rosecut marcasites. I can not express how gorgeous this ring is. The garnet has a lovely wine color that flashes crimson and has a lovely elongated oval shape. The garnet is roughly 10mm tall and 6mm wide as best I can measure in the bezel setting, is genuine, and is in amazing condition, no chips, nicks, etc. It is surrounded by marcasites that flash and glitter like black diamonds (thus why they were loved by the Victorians). The marcasites are roughly 2mm wide. All are present, none are missing, and all are original to the ring. There is also a little bit of Victorian engraving down the sides near the marcasites. The total ring face is 15mm tall and 11mm wide. The ring is a size 6, maybe a 6.25 (opening is 17mm in diameter), and the band is slightly off round but appears to have been constructed this way. It could be resized by a jeweler. It is silver (probably sterling), hallmarked "SILVER" (part of the letters are missing), and weighs 2.37 grams. In amazing vintage condition, this would make a truly lovely gift. Photos do not do it justice!
You are looking at a superb one-of-a-kind artist signed free form ring that is marked "925" for sterling silver, plus the artist's initials "YES" I believe...the last letter could be a "5" I suppose. Dating to the late 1900s thru current times, the ring is approximately a size 7 and is approximately an inch at its widest point. With a very unique flowing design, the artist evidently had great talent and vision. The different textures and composition are the qualities one would look for in original and different jewelry. The silver is strong and the ring feels so comfortable when worn. Set into the top are varying sizes and shapes of genuine gemstones, each set in a straight edge bezel. There is a faceted marquise or navette shaped garnet, an oval faceted clear quartz crystal (usually quartz is used in cab form, so faceted is extra nice!), and a round cabachon tourmaline stone that looks like a rich green emerald. They are all semi precious stones and are dazzling! In excellent condition, the ring is free of damage or repair. The stones are secure in their settings, and the shank is round and strong. Sure to please the lover of fine jewels or even hippie jewelry.

This is a very unusual bracelet. It consists of pretty, large domed flowers in sterling filagree each with a center garnet that's a firey orange-red. It's a modern bracelet, but, definitely has a vintage look. Diamonds cuts give it all over sparkle! Bracelet is 7 11/16 inches long with 8 separate 20 mm wide flowers each set with a 3 mm garnet center. Marked 925.
Great style not usually associated with garnets. The ring is much like an engagement ring with a bright firey brillant cut garnet in a simple pronged yellow gold ring. Size 7 (opening is 18 mm). Garnet is a 7mm in diameter (large). 14kt marked inside the band.
Nice heavy sterling pin of large dogwood flowers with a center garnet surrounded by marcasites. Marked Thailand 925 on the back. Pin is 37mm in diameter and has 14 marcasites surrounding an almost 4mm garnet. Earrings are the same design and 25 mm in diameter.

Pretty garnet ring in a handmade beaded design setting. Size 7.0 (opening is 17.5mm). Garnet is bezel set so it's larger than the part you see, the visible area is 5.5x7mm. Not marked but definitely sterling. This is a very firely wine red, a must have. It's just sooo pretty.
Great ring has a center catseye moonstone with a firey red-orange garnet on either side. Very pretty catseye moonstone set in sterling silver. Moonstone is 7 x 9 mm with 2 2.5 mm garnets. Not marked, but, sterling. Size 6 (opening is 17mm).
WOW! This is a cool garnet bracelet, 7.75 inches long, with a round barrel twist clasp. It has 10 garnets, each is 6 x 8mm. Bracelet is 10mm wide. Marked 925. I love the look of this. It has a very medieval look to it. And the garnets are a rich wine color with tons of sparkle.
