When people think of garnets, the often think inexpensive and plentiful. They don’t give them a second thought. This Demantoid Garnet ring, described as “centering on three cushion-shaped demantoid garnets together weighing approximately 10.05 carats, to shoulders decorated by brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold,” recently sold at the Hong Kong Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite sale for $437,500. Kinda makes one rethink garnets, doesn’t it!
