<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 3023498, member: 5398&quot;]Now that I can see the color variation in the green stones, I suspect they might be demantoid (green) garnets. I have an Edwardian-era gold-filled bracelet with small bezel set stones in similar colors (green with a hint of lime) and was told by a jeweler they&#039;re green garnets. The color of demantoid garnets can range from yellowish-green to dark green. The closer the color is to emerald-green, the more valuable. Tsavorite garnets (a different species of garnet) are similar to demantoid, but tsavorite wasn&#039;t discovered until 1967, while demantoids were discovered in 1868 in Russia. According to AJSgem.com, &quot;Demantoid garnet is the rarest and most valuable of the garnets and is one of the rarest of all colored gemstones.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
