Peachy Pink Mahenge Garnet

[jenzgemz]

Well, I just surprised myself by falling in love with a pink stone at the Tucson JOGS show. The glow in low light and sparkle in person is gorgeous! I'm really not sure how to describe this other than peachy and pink all at once. She is just over 2 carats, 7.5 mm precision cut from Eldorado Sapphire Company. I've traditionally been more drawn to blue, green and purple. Thinking of creating a three stone ring with pale green or blue pear/trillions, maybe spinel or tourmaline. Headed back to Tucson this weekend to look at settings/side stones and would love some ideas on coordinating gemstones for this project.

First saw this vendor and his Malaya/Mahenge garnets at the 2020 show and determined to come back in 2021 ready to buy. Was amazed to see the same grape color change Malaya garnet from 2020, almost bought that one, but in the end this was the winner. Might snatch up the purple one this weekend.

Also, these were the other two choices, a lighter Mahenge or the purple color change Malaya garnet, each just over 2 carats.

Very pretty! I love that shade of pink. Looks like the stone is blushing! Will you be setting it in rose gold? I wish I could be at Tucson too! I went once 8 years ago or so, and it was a blast! Have a great time stone hunting!

Thank you! Thinking of rose gold, but want to see what jumps out when we look at settings tomorrow. It's a blast so far!

Green was my thought also, can't wait to try it next to all of the different stone choices. The stone is indeed very glowy, an unexpected treasure!
