My selling price is determined by what I had to pay. The retail replacement figure is designed for bricks and mortar jewelers with high overheads. I used to supply jewelers, and bought gems in volume so I could sell to them at prices that allowed them to make a profit and still left a profit for myself. Many were purchased years ago.

THIS IS A GENUINE EARTH MINED garnet.

Better gems and jewelry items are kept in bank vault for security purposes and retrieving an item can cause a slight shipping delay.

NOTE: Supply and demand rules in true gem buying as in every other human investment.
Each earth mined gem is a unique work of art, unlike the lab produced stones that can be produced in unlimited quantities.
Some people will never understand why people buy an original work of art when they can buy a poster for next to nothing.
Earth mined gems are for those that do. Invest in quality.

Garnet is the birthstone for those born in January. The name “garnet” comes from the Latin word “Garanatus,” meaning “seedlike,” in reference to a pomegranate. They have been used since the bronze age as gemstones.
