Important Note

While many red Garnets remain highly accessible, rarer varieties like Tsavorite (green) and fine Spessartite (orange) can command significantly higher values.

Because Garnet exists in multiple varieties, clarity in selection is essential.

Choose stones with:

• Deep, even colour appropriate to the variety
• Good natural brilliance
• Clear identification of Garnet type (Almandine, Pyrope, Rhodolite, Spessartite, Tsavorite, etc.)
• Suitable transparency for the variety
• Verified certification for higher-value stones

Avoid:

• Artificial or overly bright colour
• Poor or unclear variety disclosure
• Heavy inclusions that affect appearance
• High-value stones without certification

Certification Should Confirm:

• Natural Garnet
• Correct variety classification
• No undisclosed treatments

In Garnet, variety matters as much as colour.

Care & Cleaning Guide

Garnets are durable gemstones and generally suitable for regular wear with proper care.

Do:

• Clean with mild soap and warm water
• Use a soft cloth or brush
• Store separately in a soft pouch or box
• Remove during heavy physical activity

Avoid:

• Harsh chemicals
• Ultrasonic cleaning for delicate or older settings
• Extreme heat exposure

With proper care, Garnet retains its colour, brilliance, and polish over time.
