If you loved mandarin oranges as a kid (or heck, if you still do!), the bright-orange spessartine garnets aptly named mandarin garnets will surely appeal to your grown-up lust for juicy goodness. Although spessartine garnets, the parent classification to which mandarins belong, have been found in places as far-flung as Kenya, Brazil, and Australia, the Fanta-coloured mandarin variety is found only in Namibia. Mandarin garnets are continuing to gain popularity with jewelry consumers, whether paired with white or yellow metal, and are beloved of retail jewelers and indie designers alike. You may not be able to squeeze juice from a stone, but the brilliant colour of these striking jewels just might make you think you could! Check out some hivelicious examples of jewelry featuring this yummy gem in my SLIDESHOW.
