Item Description
Garnets are beloved for their wide range of colors. Garnets are typically known recognized as red gems, and this little set is a great example of this material. This matched pair of gems have "Pear" cuts with great, saturated color. The stones are nearly virtually calibrated, and would fit very well into pre-made jewelry settings. Umbalite Garnet gets its name from the Umba Valley in Tanzania and is defined as a mix of Pyrope and Almandine Garnets.
