About this Product
Gorgeous rich red natural Garnet(1ctw,VS,Mozambique) and rich green Chrome Diopside(1ctw,VS,Russia) hand bezel set in 10K yellow Gold Vermiel. A classic combination of luxury.
Chrome diopside has several origins, but most of the finest material, and the only commercially viable deposit, is in the Republic of Sakha in Siberia, Russia. As you can imagine, production of this Siberian treasure is sporadic due to extreme winters that last more than eight months. The vivid greens of chrome diopside are a welcome alternative to rare and pricey emerald or tsavorite garnet, but has yet to gain mainstream recognition due to its limited availability. No chrome Diopside has come out of Russia since the war with Ukraine.

Meet the Maker
I have been a small organic farmer here in Pennsylvania for over 40 yrs, raising sheep, poultry, honey bees, and organic fruits and veggies. I have worked & studied gemstones & jewelry design, as well as being a master chef owning my own restaurant. I was raised learning the "old ways" of making daily living items from my Grandmother using what we grew.
How it’s Made
I hand make all my jewelry with precious metals and natural gemstones
I do all my own gold plating. Each piece is individually plated by hand ensuring coverage and quality of the plating. I plate in not just the white, yellow, and Rose Gold, but also platinum, palladium, Rhodium, and black Rhodium. If you would like a piece; either one from my store or one you already have; plated please contact me for availability and pricing. Each piece is assessed on an individual basis.
