Diamond Jewellery Garnet FAQs
Today, many of the world’s Garnets are found in Africa, and Garnets are a hugely popular choice of gemstone in colourful jewellery designs including Garnet earrings and Garnet rings. Garnets were very popular in the Victorian era, being well-loved for their versatile array of colours as well as their durability. The name ‘Garnet’ comes from the Latin word for pomegranate, and these gems are so-called because of their resemblance to the seeds of a pomegranate.
Garnet typically ranges between 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, meaning it is durable enough to be set in jewellery but should not be subject to any hard blows or frequent banging.
In folklore, Garnet has been referred to as a 'gem of faith' and some people believe that if you wear Garnet and do good deeds, good fortune will come your way.
