Hi everyone! I'm really excited to share my new ring with all of you. I got this garnet from our own @katharath many moons ago. I have found that it takes me forever to figure out the right setting for my loose stones, but I'm really glad I waited it out on this one instead of jumping the gun a couple of times. When I saw the "Eliza" setting on Love Affair Diamond's Instagram, I knew immediately that this was the right setting for my mint.

If I'm remembering correctly, the garnet is about 2.4 cts and 7.5 mm, cut by Gene of Precision Gem.

First couple of pictures are LAD's, followed by a few of mine.

Oh hubba, hubba, that is stunning! Perfect representation of rose gold bringing out the absolute best in a mint garnet.
 
That is gorgeous! I love the finish on the setting, really makes the stone pop.

I love how your dog snuck into the pic like "me too". So cute.
 
Oh it's so so so nice, love the stone, love the modernity of the setting and the metal choice, love it on your finger!
 
It's gorgeous! The rose gold really makes the stone pop!
 
Love that green against that gorgeous rose gold :love: wow! Also super cute wee pup!
 
That glow is stunning!!! And the rose gold is perfect :love:
 
What a stunning piece!! The Beautiful garnet feels quite at home in the elegant setting. Thanks for sharing your beauty
 
Oh boy this is gorgeous!!! LOVE that shade of green and it looks amazing with the rose gold, it's perfect!
 
Arabella - Thank you so much for tagging me so I got to see this!!! Believe it or not, I've often thought about this stone. I remember it very well, it is SUCH a beauty - it looks so great set. I'm very much in love with RG too, love that as well... Congrats, yay!! :)
 
Gorgeous ring. Love the combo of the green and rose gold.
 
SO beautiful! Enjoy it.
 
omg it's INCREDIBLE!
 
Drool, thud, crash, what a gorgeous ring. Man that is one of a kind.. I covet it! it's beautiful and I'm so happy for you!!

:love::mrgreen::snooty::drool::drool::love::love:
 
Simply stunningl!! The rose gold bezel is just perfect for the gorgeous mint garnet. It just GLOWS. :love::love::love:
 
Thank you so much for the kind words everybody! I feel very lucky to own this ring. I'm not really in love with rose gold, but I am in love with rose gold combined with this garnet. What @minousbijoux said -- mint garnets and rose gold are meant to be together!

@StephanieLynn I also enjoy the brushed finish. I think it gives it a different feeling than the high polish finish.

@katharath, I actually remember our conversation about this garnet and I knew that if I were you I would want to see where it ended up! I'm glad you saw this post!! I'm still working on the Barry spinels I got from you, but I think those are next unless something comes up ;))
 
Oh man :kiss2::kiss2::kiss2::kiss2::kiss2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::kiss2::kiss2::kiss2::kiss2::kiss2: #covet!!! Such a gorgeous ring. I love how simple the ring is but that stone is like POW!

Not an exact representation I know....:lol-2:

I remember our emails too, and I'm SO
glad to see these pics :)

Oh man those Barry spinels too...I really am dying to see them set. I have to tell you that I'm so happy to see/hear about these gems being set, they were some of the most beautiful I've ever owned and I admit to missing ALL of them, lol!!! I remain very glad that they have found a great home with you, where I know they're appreciated and enjoyed.
 
Lovely! A wonderful simplicity and modernism which really shows off the cut and color! Congratulations!
 
I freaking love this! The rise gold and mint garnet are like soul mates...they should never be parted. :kiss2: I love this setting and how you can see so much of the mint from the side. :love:
 
Beautiful, has the color and glow of a green traffic light.
 
Oh wow what an incredible garnet! Love love love!!! So jealous
 
Wow, beautiful stone & ring congrats!!!
 
Beautiful! Your garnet is fantastic! It looks great set in rose gold.
 
I love everything about this ring...the stone, the setting, the color combination and the finger coverage...congratulations on such an amazing piece!
 
Fantastic! I love rose gold
 
I love this! Beautiful garnet and on trend with sleek rose gold. Well done!:appl:
