2.8ct Rhodolite Garnet Oval Stud Earrings Sterling Silver

Garnet, the birthstone for January, is a gemstone made up of a group of minerals with varying chemical compositions. Although garnet is most associated with a rich red hue, it comes in nearly every colour on the spectrum. Among the most fascinating varieties is the colour-changing garnet, found in Kenya, Madagascar, and Tanzania, which shifts from blue under fluorescent light to a deep reddish-purple in incandescent light. Garnet was first discovered in ancient Egypt, and today, its various types are mined in over 30 countries around the world. With different species available, garnet comes in a wide range of prices, influenced by factors such as cut, clarity, and shape.
