The Amazing Garnet!

Garnet has a long and beautiful history with humans.
Going back to the Latin word granatium meaning “pomegranate,” garnet refers to the vibrant red  seeds from a pomegranate.
In a story about the “Great Flood”  from the Jewish Talmud, it is recorded that a radiant red garnet safely steered Noah’s Ark through the thunderous storms and endless rain.
From Crusaders setting Garnets in their shields for protection to travelers keeping it on their person to ward off evil, Garnet has traveled the centuries with humans. From romance to protection and guidance, Garnet brings beauty and positivity into our lives. Find your Garnet story today with Gold Wolff Jewelers.
