I bought a spessartite (spessartine) garnet a decade ago from Jeff White, but then we bought an apartment and I pretty much stopped buying jewelry. Now I've set it at last. The setting is by DanielM on Etsy, his signature u-prong solitaire. I chose rose gold, to match the orange of the stone. (I understand that Dan went through a difficult period a little while ago, but I found him very responsive and great to work with.)
It was hard to get accurate pictures. My phone kept interpreting the orange stone as yellow and the rose gold as yellow or silver. I finally had the idea of putting clementines (mandarine oranges) in the picture, since the camera doesn't seem to have a problem with them and the stone is exactly the same color. It worked pretty well, although the rose gold doesn't always come out the right color. The yellow flower in some of the pictures is to encourage the camera not to interpret the rose gold as yellow.
I love this ring.
