Item Description

Garnets are one of the most popular gems out there due to their wide range of color, larger sized stones and durability. Red gems are typically what people picture when someone mentions Garnet, and these stones date back to the pharoahs of ancient Egypt along with their use in ancient Rome as they were set into signet rings. The famous red Garnets in Bohemia made them one of the most well known gems in the world in the 1500s, so much so that an entire gem industry was built around them for a few hundred years in the region. Here we have a lovely pendant and earrings set featuring a trio of rich red colored "Oval Brilliant" cut Garnets with great clarity. I don't know specifically where these gems are from, but they could be Tanzanian in origin if I had to guess. The gems are set into tasteful Sterling Silver settings, and are full of color when the light hits them. A wonderful affordable gift idea for the upcoming holidays, or for somebody with a January birthday as Garnet (especially red Garnet) is the birthstone for that month. Please note that the pendant comes with a FREE Sterling Silver chain.
