The truth is, hearts have been a consistent motif throughout the history of jewellery. Some people love them, some people – not so much. But this is a heart pendant that everyone will love!
Garnet in general is very rarely treated so the colour and clarity of garnet is all natural. It is a relatively soft stone with roughly the same hardness as glass. It’s best used in a pendant, earrings or cocktail (occasional wear) ring.
Garnet is also the birthstone for January. This pendant features the most common garnet, the Mozambique garnet named after the place it was originally discovered. The beautiful deep red of Mozambique garnet is often confused with ruby. But, you’ll notice upon closer inspection, that Mozambique garnets tend to be darker and have an earthier, brownish undertone.
