Diamond & Garnet Rings
Garnet derives its name
from the Greek word �€�granatum�€� meaning pomegranate seeds. Possibly
the rich red wine colour of this gemstone prompted these ancient people
to use this name. The spellbinding beauty that unfolds itself in this
gemstone is amply evident from the fact that garnet was used in jewelry
as far back as 3000 years before Christ. A garnet and diamond ring is
for such obvious reasons considered a mesmerizing piece of jewelry.
The garnet and diamond ring is also the chosen birthstone for people
born in the month of January. As an anniversary ring, the garnet and
diamond ring remains the chosen gift for celebrating the second wedding
anniversary. Kenya, Brazil and Sri Lanka are the countries where garnet
is mostly mined.
The colourful garnet
and diamond ring is finesse without being loud. Its understatement does
not make it ordinary. The diamond with its brilliance adds more dazzle
to the garnet and makes the garnet and diamond ring timeless. Other
gemstones like opal, peridot and aquamarine can be combined with garnet
to add more sparkle and make the garnet and diamond ring a special one.
Be it an engagement ring for gifting to the woman or a special gift
by a woman to a man, the garnet and diamond ring in modern style and
design remains a unique choice at an affordable price. Made with small
sized garnets and smaller diamonds, a small and light garnet and diamond
ring can be the best gift for the little hands of the sweet children.
With gold mounting, filigree or contemporary designs and diamond accents,
the garnet and diamond ring looks a great choice.
Garnet gemstones are
of assorted colours and varieties. Each of these colours of garnet beautifully
blends with diamonds to make the garnet and diamond ring an ideal gift.
Almandine and Pyrope are the two varieties of garnet most abundantly
available in the market at an affordable price. Tsavorite, the green
grossular garnet is the rarest and most costly variety of garnet. They
demand exceptionally high price. Only the very rich can afford a garnet
and diamond ring with the Tsavorite variety of garnet. It is not common
to enhance garnet like the other gemstones to improve its colour and
clarity. However synthetic garnets are now being manufactured that look
like natural garnet. These are readily available, cheaper and are used
in the garnet and diamond birthstone ring.
