In fact, it is not difficult to buy real garnet. The difficult thing is how to buy a garnet bracelet or ring pendant with high cost performance.
Talk about the price evaluation index of garnet;
The price of garnet is from low to high according to color: burgundy, rose red and purple, provided that the quality is the same. If it is a ring face, turquoise is generally better, preferably blue pomegranate ring face, but it is difficult to find this product in the market.
Ice cracking in beads: The less ice cracking, the higher the price.
How much fog cotton and transparency: The less fog cotton, the higher the transparency and the higher the price.
Degree of black spot defect: Generally, garnet is a black spot. The fewer black spots, the higher the price. Good garnet has no black spots. Generally there are no black spots on the torus.
Other aspects such as workmanship: beads are round and holes are round. If it is a garnet ring face, earrings or pendants, the cutting is better and the overall appearance is uniform.
Under the same quality, the larger the beads, or the greater the total mass of a single bead, the higher the price per gram.
The price of 4-6mm garnet with five turns is different, that is, it is below burgundy, with dim color, many black spots, not very transparent, many ice cracks, many foggy cotton and black spots, which may be more than 100. But if it is purple, slightly cracked and similar to the transparent state of vitreous body, crystal clear, first-class workmanship, basically no fog cotton, the price may be four or five thousand.
Generally good garnet rings or pendants are about 3-5 carats, and the price per carat is tens to hundreds. The price of emerald garnet is higher, ranging from several hundred to several kilograms. The key depends on the flaw and the size of a single carat.
So the price depends on the goods. If it looks transparent, the price is not high and the color is purple, it may not be artificial crystal.
Cheap can buy real goods, but good goods are definitely not cheap.
