I'm open for other suggestion

I like the second one best, but I think they're all beautiful.

 

[VapidLapid]

the last one

I'd like to vote twice for the third.

None of them - windowed

I like this one...

They all seem dark and all are windowed. I think it must be very hard to find a CC garnet that is not too dark as this is what I see offered for the most part. Good luck in your search!

This is the nature of spessartine rich CCG - a lighter color ( but than daylight is a bit grey) you will see in pyrope rich CCG.

I prefer the ones in the bottom two rows at http://www.gemfix.com/garnet_malaya.html

Really expensive!! Nice but 1000 pct....

All three options are dark and will look like black holes when set.

Prima does too. This one seems decent despite the needles, but none of them really float my boat.

CCG is so often too dark I'll forever look up to Mr Zeolite's garnet collection, particularly the cc Bekily garnet.

The tri-colour changer is one I'd love to see IRL.

I think I'm down to these two stones:

The 1.62ct color change garnet from finewater. But, I think blue-purple is color shift instead of color change right?
