Colour change garnet ring
I got this unique suite of colour change garnet and got them set in 18k yellow gold with some simple designs.
I think it really matches a Hugo Boss cufflink I got.
Some facts about colour change garnet:
Color Change Garnet is one of the most rare, interesting, and phenomenal of all gems. The color change can be intense and equal to the color change of top quality alexandrite. Color change garnets can easily be mistaken for alexandrite. Some of the best stones are from the deposit in Bekily, Southern Madagascar. Stones from this mine are well known for their strong alexandrite like color change. To appreciate the full range of color change in these stones, one needs to observe the stones under early morning light, fluorescent light, late afternoon sunlight, and incandescent light.

Reptilian Love
Who said reptiles are cold, slimy and gross?
Not when they come cast in white gold, studded with diamonds and green garnets, of course?
A simple pendant... oh come on, reptiles can be adorable too!
