Garnets they can be found in almost every colour of the rainbow. From the tropical green of the Tsavorite garnet to the deep crimson of the Almandine garnet. We love the variety of colours and how you can find one to match every style. This gives them a unique personality compared to other precious gemstones. The name “Garnet” comes from the Latin word for “Garantus” meaning “seedlike”. At first this seems like an odd reference, but it is often compared to a pomegranate. The intense red of their seeds reminds you of small garnets.

In Greek mythology, a pomegranate was given as a gift of love, to symbolise its eternity. This makes garnets the perfect gemstone to give to someone you love. Someone you love so deeply, that the only way to express it is through a deep red stone. In another legend the god Hades gave a garnet to his love Persephone before she left for her home. Garnet should be given to a beloved before embarking on a journey as it is believed to heal the broken bond of true love.
