Do you know of a gem so beautiful that it fits to every fashion trend? This ancient gem has been worn and cherished for thousands of years. It is no other than the legendary garnet that existed in 3000 B.C., evidenced by garnet jewelry found in Nile Delta.



In 18th century in Europe, garnet pendants were worn as good luck charm among bourgeoisie. Ancient Egyptians and Sumerians created bracelets made of this gem that became so popular in the 19th century. Ancient Greeks also believed that garnet earrings help to balance anger and improve self-esteem.


Garnet necklaces were found in Czechoslovakian graves during the Bronze Age. It is also the perfect gem for engagement rings as it was once a traditional engagement stone and is believed to confer fertility.
