First of all, we should know what colors garnet has. The most common garnet is garnet, and garnet includes burgundy garnet and rose garnet. First of all, we must be able to distinguish these two kinds of garnet.
Secondly, we should be able to accurately judge whether it is burgundy garnet or burgundy garnet. Garnet ornaments commonly seen in shopping malls or jewelry stores are particularly bright under the illumination of lights. If we put the garnet ornaments in outdoor natural light, it is easy to distinguish two kinds of garnet: the color of Burgundy garnet is close to the color of wine we usually drink, and the color of Burgundy garnet is a kind of purple light. First of all, we can wear strong light ourselves and directly hit the garnet jewelry to see what color the garnet you want to buy is.
The main color of garnet is dark red, so even garnet with rose red or rose purple may be dark red from a distance. As far as the common garnet bracelets on the market at present are concerned, they can be bright, not dark red and rose purple, and there are only small particle garnet bracelets below 8MM, and bright and large particle garnet rarely flows to the consumer market.
There is also a need to look at the texture of the baby we bought. Simply put, it is the appearance of garnet crystal. The quality of crystal directly affects the price of this garnet bracelet. The crystal purity is high, and the crystal is translucent, which shows that this kind of garnet has good character, so the price is relatively high.
As we all know, garnet is a natural gem, so it is impossible to avoid mineral shortage or defects. It is normal to have cotton body or ice crack in the crystal, which is directly related to personality. If we want to buy good quality garnet, we should pay attention to whether there is a large shortage of minerals in garnet crystals.
Finally, the particle size of garnet is selected. Because the garnet in the rough stone market is very small, we have to remove a lot of impurities and rough stone skins in the process of making jewelry, so the garnet particles will be much smaller after the finished product is made. Generally, the garnet particles sold in the market will not exceed10 mm.
Matters needing attention
Color, crystal permeability, size and so on are all important factors that determine the taste of garnet, so choosing the right garnet must not be wrong.
In general, any gem, including garnet, will have flaws, and there is almost nothing perfect in time. If any garnet crystal is very transparent, bright in color and attractive in price, then be careful whether it is a real garnet ornament.
