Stauer Genuine Garnet Beaded Demi Parure

This demi parure by Stauer is beaded and includes a necklace and bracelet. Both pieces have adjustable lobster claw clasps made of a gold tone metal. The necklace is strung with spherical graduated deep red beads with spacer beads and tone-matching knotting. The beads are a deep, deep red and have the appearance of inner crackle/sparkle inclusions and sub-surface pressure cracks. While I'm confident the beads are garnet, I'm 90% sure of them being amaldine garnet specifically due to tone and inclusions. The bracelet is strung with the same type of beads, but they're all the same size and have small gold tone spacer beads between them. The set has normal wear, visible as some tone darkening in the metal clasps, as well as some small marks in the surfaces of the beads. The word "ding" is too strong and the marks aren't visible unless you're looking for them, and they're not related to the sub-surface fissures. Though there is no maker's tag, the necklace has the same telltale tone-matching knotting and vintage-inspired style. Despite the wear, the set is very wearable with a lot of life left in it. Great gift for January birthdays!
