Garnets are beautiful precious stones that are full of fire and come in many different colours and shades. They classically come in dark red colours that can vary from deep red (Pyrope garnets)to brownish-red (Almandine garnets) to purple-red (Rhodolite garnets) and all shades in between. They can also come in shades of yellow-brown or cinnamon (Hessonite garnet), orange or mandarin (Spessartite garnet) and green (Tsavorite and Demantoid garnet). They were highly prized during the Georgian and Victorian eras and the unusual colours, especially in large clear specimens, are still highly valued and sought after. We adore garnets and trust you will love them too.
