Red garnet is a classic, vibrant gemstone most famous for its deep crimson and flame-like red hues. As the traditional January birthstone and a staple in both antique and modern jewellery, it is prized for its excellent brilliance and history.
Hardness: 6.5 – 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it durable for daily wear.
Garnet is mined on almost every continent, with major deposits historically and currently located in India, Mozambique, Sri Lanka, and the Czech Republic.
The name “garnet” is derived from the Latin word granatus (meaning “grain” or “seed”), because rough garnet crystals closely resemble the vibrant red arils of a pomegranate. Garnet has been traced back over 5,500 years. It was used by ancient pharaohs in Egypt, Roman nobility (for signet rings and intaglios), and became widely popular during the Victorian era. Symbolically, the stone is often linked to love, passion, and protection.

Garnet is a diverse group of silicate minerals best known for deep red gemstones, though they naturally occur in almost every colour, including vibrant greens and oranges.
