Description

The listing, Garnet Gemstone & .925 Sterling Silver Pendant - Swinging Piece, Unique Design, Great Gift! has ended.

If you're looking for a gorgeous twinkly little pendant, you're in the right place. This garnet and sterling pendant is a real sparkler, set with a swinging round garnet in the middle that catches the light beautifully.

Garnet is January's birthstone, and the name comes from the Latin Garanatus, meaning seedlike, and refers to the seeds of the pomegranate fruit, which have the same color. In mythology, these seeds ensured Persephone would always return to Hades, her lover, which makes garnets a particularly apt gift for a sweetheart.

The setting is stamped .925, meaning sterling silver. This piece has been rhodium plated to resist tarnish (yay less polishing) and has held up very well, with no dings or scratches.

You can see in the third picture the item beside a penny, for reference. From the top of the bail to the bottom, it measures about 1" long. I will ship this free first class to the lucky US winner :)

I got this from a neat site where all the jewelry's $7 - I can tell ya what it is when you win, if you like. I get things from there pretty often.

*** Questions I anticipate: ***

*YES this is real sterling silver. The piece is marked ".925" across the top bar.

*YES this is a real garnet.

*NO this does not include a chain. The auction is for a pendant only.

*NO I do not ship outside of the US, free or otherwise.

*NO I do not end auctions early.

How lovely! I like the garnets I get from the jewelry site because they're a very nice, rich red. Some garnets look a little purple-y, you know?

It isn't a manmade garnet? I actually prefer the manmade because the colors are more brilliant.

No, that's a real garnet. I've actually never seen manmade garnets - is it possible you're thinking of rubies? Garnets are typically considered semi-precious and aren't usually insanely expensive - they get used a lot in jewelry for those reasons. The site I got this from actually guarantees true gems and silver (with a $1,000 reward!) for anyone who hands over a certified lab test that says the gems aren't real or the ring isn't real silver.
