The story
Garnet opens the year with a colour as rich as red wine. For centuries it was carried by travellers as a stone of protection, and it has long been given between friends as a promise of loyalty.
Did you know?
Its name comes from the Latin granatum - pomegranate - because the crystals look like the fruit's glowing red seeds.
The perfect gift
A beautiful way to tell a best friend or sister that you'll always be in their corner.
