Is garnet an expensive jewel?

[Shirley]

Garnet is less expensive then emeralds and rubies.When buying garnet jewelry, there are some factors that you have to consider:1. You must buy your jewelry from a trusted jeweler, jewelry store, online auction or online jewelry store. A store specializing in gemstones is a very good place to procure garnets. Check the refund policy, GIA certificate for the item, business address and phone number of the store if you are buying online.2. Check if the garnet has been subjected to any treatment. Make sure it has not been heated, dyed, irradiated or coated to change the color. Check it using a natural light from all angles, making sure that it has no flaws or scratches.3. Be wary if you are offered a cheap price. They may not be as expensive as diamonds, emeralds or rubies, but garnets do not come cheap. If it is really cheap, chances are it is fake.

Not usually. Garnet is a semi-precious stone and should therefore not cost alot. But definetly shop around for the best price.
