Red Garnet Bracelet

Garnet is the birthstone for January, and the stone that celebrates the second anniversary of marriage. The name “Garnet” comes from the Latin word “Garanatus,” meaning “seedlike,” in reference to a pomegranate. This reference makes sense as small Garnets look like the bright red seeds you find inside in a pomegranate. Garnets have been a popular gem throughout history, and were even found in a necklace discovered in a grave that dates back to 3000 B.C, which is proof of the hardness and durability of the stone.

Throughout time, there have been many ancient traditions and legends about the Garnet. In medieval times, the stones were thought to cure depression, protect against bad dreams, and relieve diseases of the liver, as well as hemorrhages. According to legend, Noah used a finely cut, glowing Garnet to illuminate the ark during those dark wet days and nights. Hebrew writers include the Garnet as one of the twelve gems in Aaron’s breastplate. Christian tradition considered the blood-red Garnet as a symbol of Christ’s sacrifice. The Koran holds that the Garnet illuminates the Fourth Heaven of the Muslims. The Greeks said it guarded children from drowning. It was also thought to be potent against poisons.
