Luxurious garnet ring

Like other gemstones, garnet has a crystalline, regular structure. It does not stand in the first row of gems, because it does not fully satisfy the basic requirements for first row stones. The main advantages of real precious crystals: beauty, durability, rarity. But by the beauty and rarity of some varieties of garnet, this stone can successfully compete with such aristocrats in a number of gifts from the depths of the Earth as opal, sapphire, emerald, ruby, diamond.

In youth and young years, mentions of this stone are invariably associated with the story of A.I. Kuprin. Something mysterious and mystical sounded in the words "Garnet bracelet", "garnet".The features of this stone are contained in its various modifications in chemical composition, hardness, color. In terms of hardness, a variety of garnet - almandine has 7.5 units on the Mohs scale. The hardness of diamond in this scale is 10 points.

According to their chemical composition, garnets belong to the group of granites, rock-forming minerals, but only some of them are used for jewelry. These are silicates of the SiO4 group with some elements. For completeness of our knowledge, we will name six crystals: Pyrope, Almandine, Spessartine, Grossular, Andradite and Uvarovite.

Pyrope was considered the best for jewelers. Because of its ruby-red color, pyrope, like Almandine, is sometimes called a carbuncle (sparkle in Latin). Pyrope crystals reach the size of a pigeon's egg. Almandine garnet is very interesting. Its color is crimson and purple-grey-red. If it contains more iron, then the color may be brown, black, opaque and unsuitable for jewelry processing.

But cabochon raspberry Almandine products have always been in great demand. Unfortunately, there are very few Almandine crystals suitable for use by jewelers. In Germany, in the Spessart region, a beautiful pink-red garnet was found, which was called Spessarin. This garnet, when cut, becomes a real find for connoisseurs of gems, many jewelers would like to work with it, but nature still keeps beautiful stones from human eyes.

Andradite was previously considered an ordinary stone, but when its variety called "Demantoid" was discovered, it immediately became one of the most expensive stones. Its crystals can have an emerald green color that can change to pistachio and olive green. Its diamond brilliance and the possibility of a brilliant cut put Demantoid in a number of expensive stones. Unfortunately, its relative softness (6.5 points on the Mohs scale) does not allow these stones to be inserted into rings, rings.

The main color of the pomegranate is red with different shades. A rich red garnet in a luxurious ring for a man or woman is a sign of perseverance and energy, rage and obsession. Red stones speak of love and passion. Dark red garnet is the stone of those born in January. Red-violet garnet in men's rings means the young people's desire for activity, the desire to take their rightful place in life, career growth.

Garnet crystals are formed in a cubic syngogy, and as a result of weathering and rounding, almost spherical shapes can be obtained. Garnets shine with a glassy sheen with a transition to resinous. The size of the pomegranate is small, mostly like a coffee bean, which interferes with jewelry processing.Therefore, the shape of cabochons of three types is most often used. A simple cabochon that has one flat side and one convex, a convex-concave cabochon and a double convex cabochon.

Double convex cabochon is not used so often. Red garnets are made in the form of a heart, drops and other smooth shapes. Larger garnets are cut. This gives the garnet the appearance of expensive stones. Brilliant cutting technology has centuries of experience and can be applied to more than just diamonds. With brilliant-cut garnets, this is often applied to the top, and the bottom is stepped.

A garnet in the frame of a silver ring can be considered a universal decoration. Such delicate jewelry work will suit young girls and slender older women. On women under 35 in a silver frame, light transparent stones will look good, it is better for girls to give rings with pink garnets, for women aged - dark shades.

In gold rings, red garnets are preferable.A girl's ring with a red garnet is a sign of an upcoming wedding. Red garnets have a special role in men's rings. It is a symbol of strength, obsession, self-confidence, perseverance in achieving the goal. But even a bright red carbuncle garnet will not bring the desired results to weak-willed men who are not ready to fight.

Men should wear a gold or silver garnet ring with a business or evening suit. The combination with a tracksuit, jeans, especially with patches and holes, does not look good. Small garnet rings in red and dark brown can be worn with well-cut and branded jeans. The combination of such jeans with knitted sweaters, sweaters and pullovers will not cause any complaints from stylists.

The choice of garnet rings for women's outfits has no real boundaries. Trouser suits for business ladies, summer outfits for girls, casual dresses for women over 30, 35, 45, 50 60, outfits for a dinner party, theater, parties, dates, special occasions, etc. For open elegant dresses, a transparent green, yellow-green garnet in a silver frame in combination with cubic zirkonia, chrysolite is better suited. A silver ring with pink garnet mixed with dark red cabochons will look good.

Garnet rings must be periodically cleaned of dirt, dust, and various layers.Prepare a soapy or saline solution, preferably from sea or Himalayan salt, a soft brush, a cloth for wiping the lenses of glasses. After cleaning, rinse with warm water, avoiding prolonged contact with water, wipe with a soft cloth. Frequent cleaning harms the stone, as it extinguishes its fiery energy. After cleansing, do not wear jewelry to restore natural energy for several days.

Do not rush to immediately buy garnet rings that are suitable in appearance and price. Look at other samples, maybe even in different jewelry stores. Finally, you notice a pomegranate in a mandrel that attracts you all the time, so this is your best choice. But even here you can get a fake. You can try to negotiate with the jewelry store about the possible return of the product after checking in the jewelry workshop, which the store owners most likely will not agree to.

Then we will undertake to check the jewelry for the authenticity of the stone. It must be remembered that garnet has a slight magnetization. Therefore, we will prepare a magnet, a plastic knitting needle and a school wooden or plastic ruler 25-30 cm long. Put the pomegranate ring on one end of the ruler, bring the needle under the ruler so as to balance both ends of the ruler or as close as possible to the position when the end of the ruler with the ring will minimally outweigh the empty end and bring the magnet to the stone without touching it. The ruler trembled or its end with a garnet rose - the stone is real!

Garnet rings that are considered fashionable are not necessarily expensive. The rings themselves can be gold, silver, cupronickel or stainless steel. The main thing is the skill of jewelers in any frame to reveal the peculiarity of the stone, its beauty, the play of color and brilliance. Gold and silver rings with combinations of garnet with cubic zirkonia, Octagon chrysolite have gained particular popularity among fashionable rings.

It depends on the price of materials and the complexity of the design. The combination of gold and a mix of garnet and diamonds significantly increases the value of the ring.
