Garnets are one of the oldest and most stunning gemstones to be used in decoration and jewelry. From thousand year old bracelets to modern treasures, their appeal spans the ages.

The word “garnet” is derived from the word for pomegranate seed, due to the similarity between the stones and that beautiful tart fruit, both in color and often in shape too. Garnets are strongly associated with protection and safe return; Saxon and Celtic kings wore garnet inlaid jewelry, and some Native American healers believe garnets protect against injury and poison. Perhaps they are considered such strong protectors because of their luminescent qualities. The familiar story of Noah and his famous boat describes garnets as the only source of light on the Ark, with one account attesting that the stones were more brilliant during the night than in the day time.  

This fabulous flat top garnet ring is a worthy protector, set in 18 carat gold and silver and bolstered by complementary rose cut diamonds on each side. The gem has a foil back, which was an old jewelers’ trick to try to amplify the brilliance of certain stones. This ring makes for a most necessary portable night light for any journey near or far.
