5.52 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Reddish Purple Rhodolite Garnet Bezel Bracelet, 22K Gold Plated Silver

This elegant bracelet measures 8.5 inches in length, and is composed of 30 round mixed brilliant cut rhodolite garnets, weighing a combined total of 5.52 carats, each stone set in a continuous 22K gold plated silver setting. The rhodolites present a reddish purple hue with intense color saturation, a trait highly prized by connoisseurs who value vivid saturation for visual presence and color consistency. The clarity grade for these stones is described as very very slightly included, indicating that inclusions are minimal, often microscopic, and generally only observable under magnification, a characteristic that preserves face up brilliance and ensures strong light return from the mixed brilliant cuts. The origin of these rhodolite garnets is unknown, which is not uncommon in the trade, and underscores the importance of visible quality factors such as color saturation, cut precision, and clarity when assessing value.

The Natural Gemstone Company emphasizes precision craftsmanship in every setting to ensure longevity and security of the stones. Each rhodolite is carefully bezel set with uniform seat depth and even metal margins to protect the girdle and crown, reducing the likelihood of edge damage and preventing lateral stress that can lead to loosening over time. The 22K gold plating over silver provides a deep warm tone and corrosion resistance, while the underlying silver offers a stable structural foundation, and meticulous plating techniques extend wearability when cared for properly. Rhodolite garnet typically registers between 7.0 and 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, lending good daily wear durability when mounted in secure bezels. For the educated buyer, this bracelet represents a considered balance of gem quality, measured clarity, professional cut, and durable setting practice, all documented and inspected by our gem specialists to ensure the piece meets the standards expected from The Natural Gemstone Company.
