Umba punch

[Atwater]

OK, I gave an umbalite ring a fancy name, but it just make me think of fancy fruit punch.
The stone first: an 8x8mm unbalite from Precision Gems

In incandescent light.
This is what I see:

But my camera can sometimes capture this:

It changes color. Sometimes more reddish, sometimes more purple, or a mixture.

I love the stone and the setting!! Stunning!

Does the stone go dark in some lighting? Asking as I don’t have any reddish garnets and would like to learn more. Thanks.

Yes. It goes dark in low lighting, unlike my other stones (tourmaline, mint garnet, chrysoberyl). And it is totally meh in fluorescent lighting. Otherwise, it just loves to show off its many faces.

It’s gorgeous in your pics. The faceting is really beautiful. And thanks for mentioning the rest of the stones.

Don’t have many garnets but since it’s my daughter’s birthstone I see many more on my horizon.

Do you mind sharing where you got your beautiful setting from?

Beautiful stone and ring, congrats!!!

Very pretty!
Is this a concave cut? If so - it’s the only one ever that’s ever caught my eye in a good way.
Looks beautiful on you too!

I love it! It is beautiful and it is fun: looking into it, I sometimes have this "big bang" imagination, red/purple light rays coming at me.

Very interesting center gem, and you did a fantastic job choosing its setting. Hope you wear it in good health and admire it for a long, long time to come.

It looks amazing on your hand and I love the color shift through pure purple to red and pink tones. What a spectacular ring!

I know this post is @ 1.5 years old, but I guess I missed it bc I haven’t seen this ring. Really pretty color and the setting is perfection.
