Garnet Necklaces

When you are shopping for garnet necklaces, the most important value factor to consider is the quality of the garnet. The more vivid and bright the hue, the more valuable the garnet. Cut is even more important than clarity, since a well-cut garnet will dance with light.

Because all Gemvara necklaces are made to order, we can hand-select fine-quality garnet to perfectly suit your design.

What is the meaning of garnet in the language of gems? Garnet is the traveler's gem: it protects you when you are far from home. Garnets symbolize loyalty and kindness. In a Grimm Fairy Tale, an old lady who rescues an injured bird is rewarded with a magical garnet that lights up the night. A garnet also lit the way for Noah's Ark.

Garnet is the January birthstone, the Aquarius zodiac gem, and the 2nd anniversary gem.

Gemvara carries two varieties of garnets: affordable red garnets from Mozambique, which have an earthy red ocher color, and rhodolite garnets, which have a juicy raspberry color.

With color that complements every metal, garnet pendants and necklaces are crafted in sterling silver, white, yellow, or rose gold, and platinum. Because your garnet jewelry will catch the eye, you will want to match the color of garnet earrings or a garnet pendant closely to the color of a garnet ring.

Garnet is a very durable gem perfect for everyday wear. Clean garnet pendants and necklaces with mild dish soap: use a soft brush behind the stone where dust can collect.

Gemvara's fine quality garnet necklaces are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

With a little care, your fine jewelry will keep its good looks forever. The best way to clean your jewelry is by soaking it in a bowl of warm water with a few drops of ordinary dish detergent. If needed, use a soft brush where dust and soap can collect. Then just rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth.

You won't have to clean your jewelry as often if you put it on after applying hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics. Be sure to remove your jewelry before strenuous activities like sports. Keep jewelry away from chlorine and other household chemicals. Always make sure it is dry and clean by wiping with a cloth before putting it away.

To protect the beauty of your jewelry, don't keep it in a tangle in a jewelry box. Remember, gems can scratch metal or each other. When you travel, make sure your jewelry pieces don't rub against each other in your bag. Store each piece separately or wrap each one in tissue paper or a soft cloth.
