Garnet Gemstone Overview and Identification Tips - Sundae Brunch Replay 06/08/23

Every second Sunday you are invited to a live Sundae Brunch on KZbin!
The purpose of this live & interactive series is to cover topics including: jewelry sourcing, jewelry identification tips, and how to research and care for our pieces. We'll also take look at some of my vintage and antique jewelry finds.
This is the fourteenth episode, focusing on garnet! We'll go an overview of the gemstone, it's many varieties, and what constitutes true Bohemian garnet. You'll leave equipped with tips to help identify the types & look at a survey of antique and vintage jewelry featuring garnet stones.
No Sundae Brunch would be complete without our "spot the listing error" segment, and we will wrap things up with a live treasure hunt!
Is there a topic you'd like covered? Don't hesitate to get in touch at [e-mail]

My favourite garnets are the Tsavorite and Rhodalite . I have loved them for 40 years . I first encountered the Tsavorites when I lived in Vancouver in the early eighties. I bought 4 loose stones and had them mounted in jewellry.

Thank you so much for watching! Those are both beautiful choices - both have stunning, vibrant colours! 😍

I have a problem to spot the difference between czech garnet and czech red glass.

[@sundaebaubles]

Yes, it's always best to test - there are some great simulants!

I thoroughly enjoy your videos. However, am I the only viewer that doesn’t like the hazy look of them?

Hi Charlene, thanks for watching and your feedback! You are not alone, It drives me crazy too. I'm working on upgrading my equipment & in the immediate try to compensate by using slides and videos to increase clarity of images. Thanks for hanging in there! ❤
