Rhodolite Garnet and Diamond Ring in 18K

Rhodolite garnet, with its lovely purplish pink color got its name in 1898 when these rhododendron-color garnets were discovered in North Carolina. Like rhododendron, the name comes from the Greek word rhodon, which means “rose colored.” A unique blend of pyrope and almandine garnets with a rosy blossom shade, rhodolite is sometimes overlooked by people who think of garnet only as small dark red gems. Like other shades of garnet, this brilliant deep pink gem is the birthstone for January.
