Bastien est à la fois très sympathique et très professionnel. J'ai été très bien reçue, le contact et la communication sont faciles. J'ai fait transformer une marguerite en bague plus moderne et je suis ravie du résultat.

FAQ
Spessartite (also known as spessartine) is a rare variety of garnet whose colour ranges from vivid orange to red-orange. Its distinctive hue comes from the manganese present in the crystal. Specimens of a pure, bright orange are known as "mandarin garnets" and are particularly sought after.
Its sun-drenched orange colour, intense fire and remarkable brilliance make it a stone of real character. Rare and luminous, spessartite is a bold and original alternative to diamond — ideal for a distinctive personality in search of a truly unique piece.
With a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, spessartite is a solid and tough stone, well suited to regular wear. It is, however, slightly less hard than sapphire or diamond: we recommend a protective setting (such as a bezel or halo) and a little everyday care to preserve its brilliance over the long term.
Generally, no. Unlike many gemstones, spessartite garnets are typically neither heated nor treated: their colour is entirely natural. This is one of their greatest assets, and an authenticity we guarantee for every stone we offer.
Yellow gold and rose gold echo the warm tones of the stone for a harmonious, radiant result. White gold or platinum, by contrast, create a luminous contrast that intensifies the orange brilliance. The choice ultimately comes down to your personal style and skin tone.
Both offer beautiful orange hues, but spessartite stands out for its superior fire and brilliance, owing to its high refractive index, as well as its naturally untreated colour. Orange sapphire, harder at 9 on the Mohs scale, is more resistant to scratching. The choice comes down to your priorities: dazzling radiance or maximum durability.
The principal deposits are found in Nigeria, Namibia, Tanzania and Mozambique. Every stone we offer is carefully selected for its colour, clarity and brilliance.
The price depends on the size of the stone, the intensity of its colour (pure mandarin tones being the most prized), the choice of metal and the complexity of the setting. A bespoke creation allows the budget to be tailored while resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind piece. Contact us for a personalised quote.
