IS GARNET ONLY RED?

 

  • No! Although red is the most common color, garnets come in a wide range of hues — including orange, yellow, green, purple, brown, pink, and rare color-change types that shift shades under different lighting.

WHAT IS GARNET'S BIRTHSTONE MONTH?

 

  • Garnet is the birthstone for January, symbolizing friendship, trust, and protection. It’s believed to inspire energy, creativity, and loyalty, making it a cherished gem for new beginnings.

HOW DURABLE IS GARNET?

 

  • Garnets have a hardness of 6.5–7.5 on the Mohs scale, making them durable enough for everyday wear with reasonable care. Avoid harsh impacts and store separately from harder gemstones to prevent scratches.

ARE GARNETS VALUABLE?

 

  • The value of a garnet depends on its type and rarity. Demantoid and tsavorite garnets are among the most valuable, prized for their brilliance and vivid green color. Meanwhile, pyrope and almandine varieties are more affordable yet equally stunning.
