House Of 18th Jewellery paired two stone families that both reach their colour without treatment, arranged so the palette shifts from warm pink to cool blue-violet across a single row.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is rhodolite garnet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRhodolite is a pink-to-purplish-red variety of garnet, a mineral group that rarely undergoes any treatment — its colour is essentially always the colour it grew with. It rates 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it one of the more durable stones House Of 18th Jewellery works with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is amethyst, and is it treated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmethyst is the purple variety of quartz, coloured by iron impurities combined with natural irradiation during formation. The vast majority of amethyst on the market, including the stones here, is sold in its naturally occurring colour without further treatment, unlike its citrine counterpart. It rates 7 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy graduate the colour instead of matching it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single stone repeated four times reads as decoration. Four stones moving from pink through violet to lavender-blue reads as a gradient with intention. House Of 18th Jewellery set garnet and amethyst side by side because both stones arrive honestly at their colour, which is what makes the gradient worth looking at twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to care for garnet and amethyst\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth stones hold up well to daily wear but should be kept out of direct, prolonged sunlight, which can fade amethyst's colour over time. Clean with a soft, dry cloth and avoid ultrasonic cleaners, which can loosen the prong settings on stones this small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18ct gold-plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5mm round-cut rhodolite garnet (pink, magenta) and amethyst (violet, lavender-blue), graduated row\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRing size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEU 60 (19.1mm inner diameter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHammered texture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHypoallergenic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs rhodolite garnet a natural stone colour?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, garnet is one of the few gemstones almost never treated, so rhodolite's pink-to-red colour is essentially always its natural, as-grown colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the amethyst in this ring treated?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, amethyst is typically sold in its naturally occurring purple colour without heat or irradiation treatment, unlike quartz varieties such as citrine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 18ct gold-plated mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e 18ct gold-plated means a thin layer of 18-carat gold sits over the 925 sterling silver base, describing the gold's purity rather than the ring's overall weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow durable is this ring for daily wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both garnet and amethyst rate 7 or higher on the Mohs scale, making this one of the more durable stone rings in the collection for daily wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be stacked with other rings?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the graduated row sits flat enough to stack comfortably with other rings from the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House Of 18th Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"60","offer_id":53294220280074,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/0161\/5370\/files\/IMG_9256_JPG.jpg?v=1790681755","url":"https:\/\/houseof18thjewellery.com\/products\/rhodolite-amethyst-ring","provider":"House Of 18th Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
