24 Beautiful Garnet Rings

The History of the Garnet Gemstone

The word Garnet comes from the Latin word meaning pomegranate and has been used in jewellery and artwork for many thousands of years. Garnet rings have been found in ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman ruins. Ancient Jewish text, the Talmud even believe that a garnet gemstone provided the only light on Noah’s ark! In the late 1960’s the discovery of a bright green Grossular garnet in East Africa created waves in the jewellery industry. The green garnet was named “Tsavorite” by the infamous Tiffany’s jewellery firm. Then again in the 1980’s a fiery orange variety of spessartite garnet was discovered on the Angola-Namibian border. These radiant colours brought about a major development in bringing the garnet to the forefront of the exciting gemstones.

Identifying a Garnet

A Garnet can be identified by its occurrence in metamorphic rock, its hardness, refractive index, colour and cubic crystal structure. However, the quickest way to identify garnet is with the use of strong neodymium magnets. Garnet is attracted to neodymium magnets because it contains high concentrations of iron and/or manganese.

Demantoid - a type of Andradite garnet, this type of gemstone comes in shades of green; demantoid also has an extremely high degree of brilliance that is often higher than that of a diamond.  Grossular - also known as hessonite, grossular garnet comes in various shades of green.  Mali Garnet - a cross between grossular and almandine, mali gemstones are in colours ranging from yellow, green-yellow, yellow-brown, and brown.  Pyrope - this type of garnet comes in shades of red ranging from deep blood red to violet red, black-red, a rare blue color, and some colour changing varieties. Rhodolite - a violet red variety of Pyrope garnet, treasured for its soft unique colour. Spessartine - a type of garnet which comes in colours ranging from orange yellow to violet red.  Tsavorite - a highly valuable form of grossular garnet which comes in a distinctive green shade.  Uvarovite - a very rare and valuable bright green garnet.
