Valentine's Sale

Customer Custom Design Story: Beth's husband and mother had passed away and she wanted to do something special with her engagement ring and earrings and her her mother's engagement ring and diamond wedding band. 

After working with Shirley, our Diamond Manager, this is the design she chose with a Super-Fit shank. These diamonds were just sitting in a drawer, not being worn. Now she has one gorgeous ring that she helped design, a ring that is doubly sentimental to her because it incorporates the diamonds from her mom and husband.

Pure crystals of garnet are still used as gemstones.  The gemstone varieties occur in shades of green, red, yellow, and orange.  In the U.S., it's known as January's birthstone.  The lovely garnet is the state mineral of Connecticut and is New York's gemstone. The star garnet (garnet with rutile asterisms) is the state gemstone of Idaho. 

Despite it's official status for these states, we'd have to say, the garnet can unofficially rock any setting, whether a simple birthstone ring to celebrate a birthday or a pendant just because you like it's gorgeous color.  

Come see our beautiful collection of garnets.  What is your favorite color garnet?
