Garnet Birthstone Jewellery

A gemstone steeped in history, garnet birthstone jewellery has been worn back as far as ancient Egyptian times! And it’s no wonder: its darkly rich red shade is highly coveted to this day, deeply evocative of warmth, romance and passion. This gemstone’s name was actually inspired by the deep red seeds of a pomegranate, a fruit frequently recognised as a symbol of love in ancient Greek mythology. Thanks to this stone’s rich history and romantic connotations, a garnet birthstone necklace or ring will make a wonderfully meaningful gift for any loved one today. 

In recent times, the garnet ring has also risen to popularity in the world of engagement rings. A unique alternative to the traditional diamond, this fiery stone entices with its deep red hues and rich symbolism. It has a hardness that ranges between 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, meaning that with proper care and maintenance, your garnet engagement ring will dazzle for a lifetime. It also makes a much more affordable option than many other classic gemstones out there!
