Garnet was first discovered nearly 7000 years ago by the Egyptians near the Nile River. It is one of the oldest found stones in the world, with a very rich history closely connected to several monarchies, pantheons, emperors, and gods of different religions. Its name comes from a Latin root, which roughly translates to “pomegranate”, because the texture or rough garnet reminded people of the seeds from the fruit. Many traveling merchants or Kingsman made talismans and beaded necklaces of garnet to allow their rulers to be grounded while making decisions. Gift the power of protection, love, and passion with some of our pieces!

Garnets are gemstones that have ignited the imagination of many cultures through time. In ancient China and Japan, Garnet’s were rumored to be the material that made up dragon’s eyes. When put under light, the red becomes fiery and very prominent in a darkened place. Because of this legend, many pieces that featured dragons used garnet’s as their eyes! Even in the present day, this rumor is still very much alive. The garnet specimens that created this specific glow were named “Red Embers Garnet'', which is mined mainly in Massachusetts!
