Nature's miracles come in many forms: perhaps one of the most
enchanting is the intriguing color-change garnet.
You may recognize the green/purple-red color changes of alexandrite or the blue/purple color play of iolite, but few
may be familiar with the spectacular appearance of the red to green-blue colors
they'll find in natural color-change garnet.
Slightly green-blue in daylight and red-purple in incandescent light,
color-change
garnets are a shining addition to any
gemstone jewelry collection. Think of the compliments you can receive
when you design a silver or gold jewelry
piece with this rare and unique gem!
Color-change garnet is a pyrope-spesarite garnet "hybrid." It portrays
a wide variability in color behavior when viewed in daylight and incandescent
light. Color-change garnets from
Jewelry by Julie's Jewels possess a
moderate to intense color change. The medium-tone colors in this
interesting stone are attributed to the inclusion of chromium and vanadium.
Greeks named the garnet
for its red color and seed-or grain-like shape. All garnets-not just the
red varieties- are
birthstones for the month of January and astrological sign stones for
Aquarius.
Garnets have always been ideal stone selections for moderate-to high-wear
jewelry. Their 7 to 7.5 Mohs hardness rating makes them a good choice for
single-and multi-stone rings, earrings, pendants, and bracelet designs.
Eye-clean with a good cut rating, natural color-change garnets from Jewelry by Julie's Jewels are
available in round, straight, baguette, emerald0cut, marquise, pear, square,
trillion, and oval shapes in a range of sizes. Garnets, in
general, are well-known and well-liked gemstones; color-change garnets--with
their dual-color phenomenon--are less recognized and scarcer in availability.
Jewelry by Julie's Jewels is
offering you a great opportunity to bring a unique "new" gemstone option to your jewelry collection. You might
want to pair color-change garnets with pearls
for a rich presentation, or combine them as accents with other gem varieties for
an interesting creating that you stand out in your jewelry collection.
