Sterling silver 20" chain and setting, with an oval shaped, 10x8 faceted garnet gemstone.

Garnet covers a range of red semi-precious gems composed of aluminum silicate in combination with a metal. The French call the garnet gouette de sange, which means "drop of blood." In Egyptian culture, garnets signified passion, loyalty, and love. According to legend, Noah suspended a garnet in the ark to disperse light. As with other red stones, garnet is associated with strength, vigor, and courage.
