Affectionately known as the “Stone of Successful Love”, and the “Poet’s Gemstone”, the deep green Emerald carries a rich history spanning over 4,000 years to Babylon, the “cradle of civilization.” It was a favorite gem of poets and artists, thought to inspire the Arts. Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, loved them and was known to drape herself in Emerald jewels.
The name Garnet is derived from the Latin term Granatum, for the stones striking resemblance to the Pomegranate seeds. The deep and vibrant Red color of the garnet energizes and motivates ‘getting things done’, making it the perfect stone for the first month of the New Year.
