Spessartine Garnet Pendant Necklace
A super saturated tenda cut spessartine garnet on a lovely pendant necklace that gives off brilliant sparkle. A tenda cut is a flat facet that has been intentionally placed on this orange garnet stone.
Visually and literally this is where the magic is! “Tenda” is a Swahili verb, which means "to do good" - and that is exactly what Debra Navarro’s jewels do! The designer hand selects her special jewelry “ingredients” from artisanal miners in East Africa.
Best of all, 5% of proceeds benefits Gem Legacy. This 501(c)3 supports education, vocational training, and local economies in East African mining communities - helping them thrive. This includes women entrepreneurs who own and operate mines!
Details and dimensions:
• 3.08 carat spessartine garnet
• 0.04 carat natural colored diamonds
• 18k recycled yellow gold

About The Designer
Debra’s designs are inspired by rich color pops set off by this earthy landscape. Her Watu collection is about the people who have touched her life and each style is named in honor of one of them. This necklace, named the Christopher necklace, is no different, and is inspired by someone special to Debra.
