This ring is handcrafted of sterling silver and genuine garnet. I use the best stones I can find at affordable prices, and I have been very fortunate with garnets.
This stone is eye clean, and I cannot detect inclusions under 10x magnification. This is one of my more humble garnet rings. The stone is about 1/4 carat to about 1/2 carat in size. The color of the stone is phenomenal - it's a slightly orange red rather than the much more common brownish red garnets are found in. To my knowledge this stone has not been treated at all. However, when I see one this clear, I assume it has been heat treated.
I've yet to make the same ring twice, so this is likely to be the only one ever available. I use only genuine mined from the earth stones and purchase my silver here in the US whenever possible. I will specify any treatments that I know of that have been used on a particular stone.
