4 marquis cut garnets are surrounded by gold in this mosaic pendant that is a brand new style for us- and with that beautiful supple silk, the hand hammered gold, and the gold/silver faceted chain, this piece is a SHOW stopper.
In January's birthstone collection, garnet is said to offer protection through travel, attributed with the power of protecting wearers from nightmares and snakebites, and are also thought to provide guidance in the dark.
The use of red garnet dates back thousands of years, when it was used by Egyptian pharaohs for both decorative and ceremonial purposes. The ancient Romans also wore garnet rings and traded garnet gemstones.
