Comments:
This little round vanadium kornerupine has quite the kick!! Most kornerupine (including this one) of this shade is bonkers bright. In low light: bright. In direct sun: bright. in the dark: depends if it CATCHES any light, but if it does... BRIGHT!
A nice medium sized rich green vanadium kornerupine is sure to be a hot ticket for your customers in person. It's got the allure of a super rare gem variety, it's got the good hardness and durability for a ring, like tourmaline does, and it's got amazing performance in even non-ideal lighting. It speaks for itself, even to a lay-person who is just browsing. This gem is priced to sell to that customer, too: affordable.
