Round Tsavorite Garnet Faceted Stone, AAA-Grade, select your size

This AAA-grade round tsavorite garnet features an intense green color and light-catching facets, making it ideal for custom designs. The gemstone's relative hardness means it can be used even in rings which get the most wear and tear. Use it alone to create a simple pendant or post earrings, or pair it with complementary-color gemstones to create a more complex pendant, bracelet or necklace. This gem shows the superior cut, color saturation and active scintillation required to be classified as a top-quality AAA-grade gemstone. Garnet is the birthstone for January.

The vibrant green color of tsavorite garnet is the result of its vanadium and chromium content. This variety of garnet, while popular in its own right, can offer a lower-cost, yet semi-precious, alternative to gemstones such as emerald. Garnets are actually a family of closely related gemstones. The most common color is red; but garnets are also found in green, orange, pink and blue. Garnet exhibits few inclusions, and those that are present tend to be rounded, seedlike crystals with irregular edges.

Round-cut gemstones are highly popular and the most commonly available. Rio round gemstones are calibrated for size and hand inspected to ensure maximum attractiveness.
