Solid Gold set with AGrade Garnets, the Garnets of the Almandine, wine-red variety of the complex Garnet crystal family, and truly AGrade, indeed AAAGrade, for this quality, with its depth and vibrancy of colour and fine, clean translucency, has been extremely difficult to source these last years. The two matched Garnet gemstones in the above Solid Gold earrings are out of old stock, sourced decades ago in India, the world’s greatest source of gemstone Garnet since the early 1900s.
The above Solid Gold earrings are created and crafted in Sydney, the gemstones well set in Sydney by one of the city’s top gemstone setters. 4.1 grams of solid 9ct Gold have been used in these eardrops; at current world Gold prices, as of February 2025, the raw cost of the 9ct Gold content of the eardrops constitutes 35% of the site price, taking no account of GST, bench work and setting and polishing costs, taking no account of gemstone cost and certainly no account of profit.
