Robert purchased several orange Hessonite Garnet crystals from a source in Sri Lanka and faceted one of them into this 7x5mm oval gemstone weighing .7 carats.  He then set it, along with a 2mm round VS accent Diamond, into a 14kt Yellow Gold Pendant.
 
Most people think of Garnet as a reddish gemstone.  However, there are eight main color varieties of Garnet found throughout the world, including shades of red, orange, pink, green, black and honey brown.  Due to the presence of Iron atoms in a Garnet molecular structure, colors will range from red, orange to brown.  The presence of Vanadium or Chromium atoms produce various shades of green.
 
Garnet is the January Birthstone.
 
For this Pendant, we recommend an 18” or 20” Light Figaro 14kt Yellow Gold Chain, # 1050.
