Garnet

Legend has it that Hades gifted a pomegranate to Persephone before she left the underworld to ensure safe and speedy travels. Upon her return, the fruit transformed into a handful of these precious red gemstones - forever solidifying their place in mythology and the modern metaphysical arts. 

Garnet is said to symbolize loyalty, fidelity, grace and faith. Proponents of this gemstone also believe it can lower inflammation, stimulate blood flow, strengthen vitality, reduce anger and heal broken bonds. Garnet is also though to be beneficial in business - attracting clients to the wearer and enhancing success. (Sign us the F up.)

Garnet gemstones range in color from deeply saturated burgundies to bright purplish-reds. More rarely, garnet jewels may display hints of fuchsia in their faceted surface. These rarer, fuschia-tinged garnets are obviously our favorite and we’ve done our best to bring their complexity to life.

Our Garnet stem’s bordeaux border gives way to a deep magenta before ending at the spadix with a flash of fuchsia. A friend to a wide array of palettes, this stem will surprise you with its voguish versatility and perhaps, its’ mystical abilities.
