About this piece
A single round-cut almandine garnet in a four-claw setting, open at the back so light passes through the stone rather than bouncing off a closed cup. Almandine sits at the darker, more saturated end of the garnet group; held to a window it reads clear red, and under a loupe you will find the fine needle inclusions typical of the species. The photograph shows a representative stone. Colour depth and inclusion pattern vary from piece to piece.
