Blood red rock stars from europe except not only red
Forget everything you thought you knew about garnets. Yes, they're often red. No, they're not all red. Garnets come in a kaleidoscope of colours—greens, oranges, even the occasional rare blue (if you’re lucky enough to find one before a collector does).
These gems are more than just pretty faces. Born in the depths of the Earth under serious pressure, garnets are tough cookies—ranking 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale. That makes them perfect for jewellery that gets daily wear and a little attitude.
Historically, warriors carried them into battle, Victorians wore them for love, and today they’re January’s birthstone—with just enough glamour to make those winter birthdays shine.
So whether you’re digging for geological treasures or just want something sparkly with sass, garnets have you covered. And no, they’re not rubies’ poor cousins—they’re the rock stars in their own right.
