This distinctive deep-red stone has a long history, going back to Noah using Garnet lanterns to light his way through dark and stormy nights on the Ark. This is to do with Garnets high refractive index, which means it captures and disperses light in a unique way that other gems cannot. We have procured a striking over 3.5ct cushion cut Garnet, handset into a sterling silver mount finished in 18k yellow gold. The ideal showpiece and perfect gift for a January birthday.
