Garnet Jewellery

Garnet comes from the Latin word "Garanatus," which translates to 'seedlike.' The bright red colour stones look like the vibrant red seeds within a pomegranate. Although red-toned garnets are widely recognised, the word “Garnet'' represents a diverse group of silica-based minerals showcasing a wide range of colours. Red Garnet gemstones are widely used to create luxurious jewellery, including Gold necklaces, Gold stud earrings and Gold bracelets. Five of these varieties yield gem-quality stones in shades of orange, yellow, purple, and vivid green, expanding the spectrum beyond the traditional red hues.

The History of Garnet Gemstone

The origins of Garnets can be traced back thousands of years ago to ancient Egypt; the precious stones were transformed into Gold jewellery or Silver jewellery and used by the royals. Later on, Garnet gemstones enjoyed immense popularity among the Romans. Serving as a talisman for protection, it was favoured by warriors heading into battle and individuals seeking to be away from negativity. While in Greece, they believed Garnet could bring them luck and they designed jewellery pieces with Garnet gemstones which were very popular. 

Throughout history, Garnet jewellery was adorned by nobles and royals to represent their wealth and power. Garnets were sourced from various regions worldwide. During the Victorian era, Bohemia served as the primary supplier of the sought-after red pyrope garnets, prized for their vibrant colour and elegance. The Royal Gold Garnet Necklace and Gold Earrings feature Garnet gemstones that perfectly complement the gold and silver designs.
