Garnet Bracelet, 5mm Round Beads, Limited to 3 Pieces

Garnet Bracelet, 5mm Round Beads — Limited to 3 Pieces

A burning red deeper than wine-red. Garnet's rich, wine-like color resembles that of a pomegranate, which is why it's also called "pomegranate stone" in Japanese. The word garnet comes from Latin, meaning "to protect from illness." Garnet is January's birthstone and is said to be a stone that leads to victory and success, carrying the meaning of "leading to success through steady, unflagging effort." There's also a historical record of women gifting garnet pendants to medieval knights, with legend telling of such a pendant deflecting an arrow — garnet was worn with wishes for victory, and even today it's used as a protective charm. Compared to crystal quartz, garnet is about 20% heavier, indicating greater hardness and a denser crystal structure. In ancient Egypt and Europe, garnet was also believed to have benefits for poor health, used both as an ornament and as a remedy to stop bleeding. This is a selection of especially fine-quality garnet, offered in a special limited sale of just 3 pieces.
