Garnets

[stonecutter2]

Hi, there! Thinking about getting a piece of jewelry for my fiancee for her 30th birthday next month. Would you be able to recommend a place online with some nice info on garnets, and possibly someplace selling bracelets/pendants/earrings with garnets in them? I want something really nice for her

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I''m also considering a diamond pendant, and have another post in RockyTalky about that. But, since this was garnet-specific I figured this was the place for this question.

Rick Martin of www.artcutgems.com specialises in garnets (a big and diverse species). I''d contact him. Do you know what colour you''d like?

Here is the Show Me Your Garnets thread, it has some nice eyecandy and can give you an idea of the wide range of colors and cuts these gems can come in.

Here's a shot of Zeolite's loose garnet collection. Awe-inspiring isn't it?
