I love the work of Alok Jain, and have purchased two of this style pendant with garnets and one with amethyst. The craftsmanship is utterly excellent and the stones are consistently lovely in all three pieces.
Garnet is the birth stone of our only child, and this is a great use of the gem. She loved it! She even commented on it before joining a zoom meeting and wearing it that "she might have to change clothes to match how nice it is."
I purchased this necklace (and matching earrings) as a gift for myself after graduating. The school colors were red and black and this was perfect. The necklace and earrings are beautiful, all the elements are well made flawless. I always receive compliments when wearing them.
