Faceted Oval Garnet Bead Strand

Faceted Oval Garnet Bead Strand

A Stone of Passion and Ancient Fire

This exquisite strand features beautifully faceted oval beads of natural Garnet, a gemstone treasured since the Bronze Age for its deep, fiery brilliance. The name “Garnet” originates from the 14th-century word “gernet,” meaning dark red, reminiscent of a pomegranate seed. This diverse group of silicate minerals can be found in a spectrum of colors, but it is the rich, red variety that is most famous, symbolizing love and vitality. As the quintessential January birthstone, Garnet is a talisman of protection and enduring friendship. The masterful oval faceting on each bead in this strand from our Garnet collection enhances its natural fire, creating a piece that feels both ancient and passionately alive.
