Garnet
The word garnet, derived from the Latin granatus, which translates to rounded seed or grain, is a fitting name for this versatile gemstone. Inspired by the inside of a pomegranate, the rough red garnet closely resembles the jewelled seeds of this exotic fruit. While garnet is most recognisable in a raspberry shade of red, it also comes in sensational shades of green, orange, pink, and purple, showcasing its versatility and beauty.
Garnet, one of the earliest documented gemstones, holds a significant place in history and across cultures. Ancient Egyptians used garnet in their amulets, with examples dating back to 1887 BC, and Native American Indians used it as a protection talisman. The gem's historical significance is further underscored by the fact that ancient Greeks and Romans set garnet in jewellery, particularly signet rings, to convey their wealth and status. The beauty and value of garnet has transcended time and country, making it a treasure for royalty and precious gemstone enthusiasts alike.
