Red garnet cut...yum

Check the HD video here if you can. They have a demantoid they're happy to put a $22,696 tag on, but the red one is POA?

It's one bayoodiful garnet but Oh My Starz!! I think I'll head for the 'fainting couch'

No pricing on the rhodolite? The still picture has a lovely rose colour but the video doesn't look so good - very pyropy. The demantoid looks better in the picture than the video as well but not by much. The green colour is a sickly green but I guess the pricing is high due to the size. I presume it is of African orign.

Yes I thought the demantoid was pretty awful too - as you say 'sickly' but just amazed that the rhodolite must be more than they were asking for that even though the cut does show it off very well.

I take it that they're not planning to live off the proceeds of their website! They make Palagems and Cherrypicked look like bargain basement...

I have a demantoid that is almost identical to theirs and I paid a lot less than $400 for it.

Their prices are in la la land!

ETA: On the other hand, I'd be willing to part with some of my collection - I'll settle for 50% of their selling prices very happily!
