I purchased the garnet bracelet to commemorate a work milestone, and it was exactly what I expected! The carat weight is interspersed well across the heirloom garnets so the bracelet is subtle enough for daily wear while also carrying weight across the wrist. The clasp is secure, and the yellow gold marries very well with the red wine luster of the garnets. Very pleased, as always, with my Angara purchase and customer service throughout.
