Item # 5397: A Pear-shaped Hessonite Garnet in a Robert Michael Design

Product Description

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.

Robert Michael purchased an orange Hessonite Garnet crystal from a source in Sri Lanka.  He faceted the crystal into this 10x7mm pear-shaped gemstone weighing 2.4 carats, and set it in a Sterling Silver Pendant which Robert designed.   In the construction process, Robert sanded round Sterling Silver wire into oval-shaped wire, with the intent of capturing colorful reflections of the gemstone on the interior of the Pendant.

A very short silver-colored chain will be included in the gift box with this item, but please be aware that this chain is for display purposes only.  It is used solely to hold the pendant upright in the box.    It is made of inexpensive basic metal, not Gold or Silver.   If you would like to include a Sterling or 14kt White Gold, please take a peek at the “Other Items” category and make your selection.

We have well over 1,000 colorful gemstones of all types, shapes, and sizes.   So, if you prefer a different gemstone for this piece, it’s highly likely that we will have them on hand.

This setting can be can cast in Sterling, 14kt White Gold or 14kt Yellow Gold.  So, if you prefer a metal other than what is shown here, simply call or send us an inquiry using the Product Information Request Form and we’ll promptly respond with availability, pricing and a delivery window.
