Garnet Jewelry - The History and Meaning Behind the Stone

The term "bohemian garnet" refers to a specific type of gemstone which is mined almost exclusively in the mountains of the former bohemian empire, now part of the Czech Republic. Although they have been mined and can be found throughout the world, they really took off in Russia and other European countries. Quickly, their popularity spread throughout the world and the demand for Garnets could not be filled. As the world began to demand more and more garnets, the education of these gemstones increased as well. Basically in laymans terms, they are the "pyrope" garnet variety and have the deepest fiery red color of any in the garnet family. They also have superior clarity and high light refraction which crate a beautiful brilliance and sparkle.

These unique garnets have been mined in the region for over 600 years. The bohemian garnet is valued for its beauty and used extensively in jewelry. Over time, many people have come to the belief that garnets have great health benefits, which can possibly help a person to overcome sorrow and feel joy. The Emperor Rudolf II, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire had many red Garnets in his collection as well. Garnets have become particularly well known since they appeared on many of the dresses of Russian Tsarinas, so I recommend you to buy this beautiful jewelry to amplify your own personality. If you enjoy portraying a fiery and passionate personality then the Garnet jewelry is definitely the right choice for you and can even have some possible health benefits as well.
