Jewelry with Garnet – chic color of passion

Do you remember Alexander Kuprin's story about a touching and at the same time tragic love story? Yes, this is the same work that was included in the TOP of the best works of Russian classics - “Garnet Bracelet”. It is in this book that we are talking about an amazing piece of jewelry - a gold bracelet, which was decorated with five cabochon-cut garnets of a deep red color, surrounding a green stone - a rare variety of garnet. It was this decoration that became a symbol of Georgy Zheltkov’s high feelings for Vera Sheina, whom he loved for many years, without the possibility of mutual feelings.

In fact, it is true. The pomegranate is considered a symbol of love, fidelity, devotion and passion, and this is precisely the meaning of the whole story - to love limitlessly, strongly, sensually and patiently.

So what is a garnet bracelet today and what types of jewelry can be found in our time?

History of the Flame Crystal

According to legend, pomegranate appeared on Earth thanks to Prometheus, who gave fire to people. He wore a ring with a fire-controlling stone. It is believed that it was a garnet. Another version claims that drops of Prometheus’s blood that fell to the ground became the pomegranate.

In the past, jewelry with garnet was the exclusive privilege of men, since its red color embodied courage, rage, and perseverance. The fire stone was loved by rulers and great generals. Alexander the Great had a ring with it. And ordinary warriors believed that it was a talisman against wounds.

The rulers did not limit themselves to one product, decorating themselves with rings, bracelets, and inlaid personal weapons.

The mineral became more accessible to ordinary Europeans when it was found in the Czech Republic. Today, the gem is mined in different places on the planet, but Czech garnet remains unrivaled.

Properties of the gem

According to the composition of garnet, 6 types of this mineral are distinguished:

1. Orange spessartine.
2. Almandine (purple, violet-red, green, etc.).
3. Fire pyrope.
4. Black or brown andradite.
5. Emerald uvarovite.
6. Green or yellow grossular.

In nature, garnet occurs in the form of solid formations, including impurities of iron and titanium. On the Mohs scale, the mineral has a hardness rating of 7.5-8. Both transparent and opaque garnets can be found in nature. In addition, the mineral may have a glassy luster.

Mineral deposits are concentrated in South Africa, Russia and Germany.

Like any type of gem, garnet has a list of magical properties that cannot be ignored when purchasing jewelry with this mineral:

1. Garnet is called the stone of love, and all because wearing products with it allows you to attract happiness into your personal life.
2. It is known that in the Middle Ages, garnets were worn exclusively by men, and all because this gem provided protection from injury and injury.
3. Wearing a pomegranate helps to increase vitality, develop creative thinking, etc.
4. The red mineral has a beneficial effect on the energy of women, making the fair sex more calm, gentle and reasonable.
5. Pomegranate is recommended for pregnant women to wear, since the energy of this mineral has a beneficial effect on the process of bearing a child and the course of childbirth.
6. Wearing jewelry with this mineral wards off failure, betrayal and betrayal from its owner.

The pomegranate is considered a talisman for people who are representatives of professions associated with creative thinking - fashion designers, artists, musicians, designers, writers, etc.

It should be remembered that some varieties of pomegranate are not suitable for people of a certain age, character and even zodiac sign. If you ignore this feature, which is characteristic of all types of gems, you can feel the negative influence of the stone. Garnet is a stone that has the energy of passion and ambition, so it is not recommended to be worn by passive, lazy and uninitiated people. Otherwise, the mineral can negatively affect the nervous system and energetically “exhaust” its owner. But an active and purposeful person who probably knows what he wants from life will only benefit from wearing accessories instructed by garnet. But in this case, it is important to remember that constantly wearing a gem prevents you from calming down and relaxing, therefore, in order to rest your soul, it is recommended to take off your garnet jewelry for a while.

When choosing a gem, it is recommended to take into account your zodiac sign. Wearing a garnet has a beneficial effect on people born under fire signs (Leo, Taurus, Sagittarius, Capricorn). However, this statement does not apply to Aries, who have a hot temper - the garnet loses its magical properties under the influence of the overly energetic nature of its owner!

Representatives of the air element, for example, Libra and Aquarius, can also wear garnet, but only if the mineral is green in color. As for representatives of the water element, they should pay attention to other types of minerals, because garnet is not suitable for them.

The gem should not be worn by elderly people, otherwise violation of this rule will lead to aggravation of illnesses and infirmities. Garnet is the stone of young and active people who strive to direct their energy to achieve their goals.

Garnet necklace

You can get the maximum benefit from wearing garnet only if you correctly combine this mineral with other stones. Its energy is enhanced when combined with emerald, sapphire and agate. The combination of garnet with diamond, ruby, moonstone, turquoise, and pearl is considered unfavorable. Almost all of these stones have the energy of water, so they can neutralize the properties of garnet.

A mineral can become a real talisman for its owner, in particular if a person wears products with this stone correctly. Women who dream of meeting their love and having a successful marriage should give preference to a ring set with a red garnet and wear such jewelry on the ring finger. Wearing such a ring on the middle finger will contribute to success in your career and in the embodiment of creative ideas. You can develop your communication skills and make useful contacts if you wear a ring with a garnet on your little finger, and the stone should be green.

Products with garnets can be an ideal addition to clothes that belong to the classic style, as well as to the casual style. But in this case, the stones in jewelry should be neat and miniature. Products with massive stones are best worn on special occasions.

Pomegranate decorations

Pomegranate is a small gem, almost like the seeds of the fruit of the same name. Most types of stone are considered precious. Jewelers use them, as well as semi-precious specimens. The most popular is translucent dark cherry or red-brown almandine. Natural crystals come in not only the classic red color. There are green, yellow, orange, purple, black garnets.

Cut

In ancient times, almost all garnets were cut into cabochons, which made them look like a drop of blood. Today, this method is complemented by step-cut diamonds, and the resulting jewelry is spectacular, stylish, and in the spirit of the times.

Gem compatibility

Branded jewelry suggests the following options for the presence of stone:

• single copy;
• several crystals of the same color;
• several crystals of different colors;
• garnet plus other gems.

Diamonds, amethysts, chrysolites, marcasites, cubic zirconia look good with garnet. In multi-color compositions, the main stone is black or yellow.

The number one contender for red stone is green. It is recognized as relevant and aesthetic. Jewelry with such a garnet makes the owner look younger, gives her appearance freshness, associating her with nature and spring.

Bohemian stones

The largest, with premium external properties, are Czech, or Bohemian, gems. There are no unwanted impurities or stains in the structure, and the presence of chromium creates a play of fiery red reflections in the sun. Each piece of jewelry is made chic by a unique technology developed specifically for it. Czech-made jewelry has a “flaming” surface of the stone.

It is an international luxury brand and a national treasure of the country. All rulers of the Czech Republic wore such jewelry, considering it a talisman.

Men's range

Rings and bracelets for men are made of silver and gold. Designers offer classic or brutal style - with crosses, skulls.

A product with a dark red, closer to black, Czech stone speaks about the status and style of the owner. A ring or bracelet like this is appropriate anytime, anywhere.

Jewelry setting

Precious or semi-precious garnet is equally good in the same frame - gold of all shades or silver. What to choose depends on personal preferences, financial status and occasion.

Gold

Any garnet gold jewelry is chic and seductive. Large stones are used for it. The brightness of both components – the stone and the frame – does not prevent the product from being moderately austere and mysterious.

Red garnet, like no other, suits respectable ladies, status people and business women. That is, strong and passionate natures. The diamond frame adds luxury to the stone.

Such products are ideal with a red evening outfit, but it can be black, white, brown, pink. A beige or golden tone of the wardrobe is suitable, yellow or orange are excluded. Gold garnet products are appropriate for festive or special events, important business meetings (moderate decor).

Garnet in gold is preferred by accomplished, passionate, internally strong people. Or those who want to become one.

Silver

A silver frame is chosen if you want to draw attention to the stone. Bright garnet becomes the base, delicate silver delicately sets it off. A stone of any color looks good in a neutral silver frame.

To make the composition of a ring or bracelet more lively, garnet jewelry is provided with a scattering of small stones (usually cubic zirconia).

This is a suitable addition to clothes of different styles, from business to romantic. A green stone in silver is suitable for a person of any age, including youth.

For the office, two items are enough, for example, earrings plus a ring. For an evening out, it is appropriate to add a bracelet made of precious stones.

1. Jewelry is presented to people who are recognized as having authority of any kind. For example, a husband gives a ring to his wife as a sign of recognition of her as the “commander in chief” of the family hearth.
2. Pomegranate is a frequent companion of creative people. In artists, musicians, poets, performers, it inspires complete dedication to their favorite work.
3. The gem is an expression of passionate and devoted love. The most famous example is the garnet bracelet, which has become a symbol since the story of the same name by Alexander Kuprin. But a stone in any other decoration is no worse. He will make the lady wiser, calmer. Men need to accept such gifts carefully. A gift of jewelry with a gem can provoke a fire of love, even if the recipient is not ready for such a turn.

How to care for pomegranate jewelry

Garnet is a fiery gem, so it is not very friendly with water, but loves the sun. Hence:

• clean it in the standard way - with a soft brush in a soap or saline solution, wipe and polish with a soft cloth;
• When cleaning, do not leave it in water for a long time (otherwise the stone will become cloudy), 5–10 minutes is enough;
• The energy of the stone is replenished by sunbathing, but it should not be frequent, otherwise the gem will turn pale.

Silver frames require special care. Such jewelry is not cleaned often and intensively, otherwise the energy field will be washed away, and it will take time to recover. If you are afraid of ruining your jewelry, entrust the work to jewelers.
