Bright Orange Spessartite Garnet Bargain Bin

[arkieb1]

I have a couple of settings to pay for and something expensive I have my eye on so I'm clearing some spess at true wholesale prices. The stones were cut from top coloured rough material, they cut much lighter than the original rough and I handpicked out some of the nicest pieces after they were cut;


The first LT listing is for 3 different coloured bright Orange Cushion shaped Spessartite Garnets cut from top coloured African material in the photo, all lightly included with sugar type inclusions which is pretty normal for spess.

Stone 1; (darkest cushion) 2.61 carats a dark intense vivid orange, never brown much nicer than my photos what Africans consider top coloured. Very light sugar inclusions but clean in most lighting situations will face up clean when set. I like the darker intense orange colour of the stone it is MUCH better is person and never ever brown. $650.00USD

Stone 2 (Large squarish cushion) 3.41 carats nice bright mid orange also a sought after colour. Has a line of white sugar type inclusions going across the inside of the stone, also has scattered sugar type inclusions which is very common even with top spess. Eye clean at a distance but included in bright sunlight and strong lighting under very close inspection. I think set it will look fairly clean and will be a great large bluff stone for the price. A bargain price (I've seen worse spess selling for 3 times the price) $350.00USD.

Stone 3 - 2.27 carats (mid coloured Antique cushion) also a nice sought after mid orange colour. Has light scattered inclusions which is common with spess, you might notice it in strong sunlight or in strong shop lighting but will be clean on the hand when set. $450.00USD again, this colour, these sell for 2 to 3 times this price.

My Iphone camera hates orange and never takes decent photos these are MUCH MUCh brighter and nicer vivid oranges in person than my photos, and none of the stones are brown.

The next listing is for 4 different coloured bright Orange Spessartite Garnets cut from top coloured African material pictured above, these range from lightly included to included with sugar type inclusions which is pretty normal for spess.

Stone 1 - 1.90 carat pear, this one is heavily included with a rutile inclusion across it and lots of sugar including lines and scattered sugar. Normally I don't purchase heavily included stones but the colour of this pear is Fanta orange it's about as bright and perfect as you see in a spess and the top vivid colour negates the inclusions. The inclusions are eye visible but when set the colour is again going to be the main thing you see on the hand. It's still a very pretty stone and great size for the price. $95.00USD.

Stone 2 - 1.93 Pretty mid to light orange cushion. Some rutile bands and some scattered sugar inclusions will look fairly clean on the hand when set. This one photographs yellowish in some pics but it's not it's a nice bright mid to light orange in real life. Similar stones sell for 3 times what I am asking for this one, really great stone for the price $250.00USD.

Stone 3 - 1.22 heart/trillion (darker of the two) this one is photographing way darker and browner than it really is, it is more per carat because again it is what Africans consider close to ideal in colour, it's a nice intense vivid orange with no brown at all in real life. It has rutile inclusions across it and scattered sugar inclusions but will look mostly cleanish when set. Could be set as a trillion or a heart shape by a skilled jeweller. I can't stress how much nicer it is in person than my pics. $250.00USD.

Stone 4 - 1.00 Trillion/Heart a lovely bright vivid mid orange, sought after colour. This stone has rutile inclusions across it and scattered sugar inclusions. You can see them in strong sunlight and certain indoor strong lighting but again set on the hand mostly you will just see the nice bright vivid colour. Could be set as a trillion or a heart by a skilled jeweller. $200.00USD.

Photos 1 - 3 were taken indoors next to a window during the day (daylight).



Photo 4 Was taken inside fluorescent lighting.

ALL of the stones are MUCH nicer in person than my photos my Iphone simply doesn't like taking pics of orange stones and either makes the colour look washed out or less saturated than the stones are in person and some of the darker ones are looking brownish they are never brown and are an intense vivid orange in person.

@LisaRN - Thanks, got it and have replied.

The 1.90 pear is on hold payment pending. The 3.41 cushion has sold.

The rest of the stones are nice bright vivid orange colours better than my pics nothing too dark and no brown (spess are difficult in the darker orange colour range to get good accurate photos of) and are all, for what they each are at wholesale prices.

1.90 pear is Sold. 3.41 Cushion is Sold, the 2.27 cushion is on hold.

People have also messaged me about the darker stones, they are not brown, they are never brown, my Iphone camera for whatever reason hates this colour and will not take accurate photos of the darker oranges, they look like the rough material above as in neon hot orange coals or orange coloured lava with no brown.

Thanks for the photos, it's good to see someone with a better camera than my Iphone that really hates oranges, reds and pinks. You managed to get closer to photographing the actual colour!!! All of these stones are a lot better IRL than my photos above.
