Comment: Always a pleasure: garnet in ladies' ring size - the value alternative amongst red gems. Durable, free of inclusions, untreated, traditional hand-cut without flaws, nor window. Loves to sparkle in good light and retains a low ember glow even in a dark ambience. AIGS report included, so that you (and grandkids) will know, not wish or guess, what you paid for. Over 7x6mm demands ten thousand $ in quality ruby, two to three thousand $ in red spinel, but here 3 digits do the trick without resorting to nasty treatments or cheap imitations. Delivered free to your doorstep with all original papers and 1000sqm of Colombian rainforest left to nature, so that the next generation can breath clean air. Set in a solitary cathedral with four prongs it will raise attention and questions ("Ruby?" - you reply with confidence: "Untreated almandine, much better than lead-glass filled ruby!"). Bordeaux red fits best in white gold, IMHO. Rock-solid, all-natural gem at an affordable price-point.
