Purple is one of the more recent discoveries in the extensive family of garnet colours and indeed caused quite the sensation. We gem artists believed we didn't need another reason to love garnets, but faceting material this beautiful would create a devotee of almost anyone. The highly polished bar faces really make this distinctive colour pop, and this stone is ALL about the colour. A beautiful example of a versatile purple stone in the perfect size for a ring.
It's safe to say the artist has a love of checkerboard cuts. The reflection pattern they give the gemstone is so very different and wonderfully eye catching. The design of this gem is called Fortitude by Arya Akhavan. Large pavilion faces flash the red colour up and out of the twinkling checkerboard crown. The play of red flash and mirrored polish is energetic.
