This Victorian garnet treasure is from 1893 -1894! It is fully hallmarked and holds a rich garnet that reflects light beautifully. The stone is pretty deep - I love that the back is open and the culet rests against my skin. No filter or editing.

Now THAT is the way a garnet should look IMO! The color is just regal! :kiss2:

I love the deep chunkiness of this cut. That's the kind of shape I would want.

It truly is so deep and chunky! Maybe that's why it isn't for everyone. The culet pushes into my finger but not painfully!

Thank you! I think I got lucky! I don't buy many deep red almandine garnets. I love spess, rhodolite and Mali! And demantoid! My favourite is color change!
