Roman Ring, Garnet, Gold

The fiery stone of passion. Emitting crimson and vermillion light, Garnet embodies passion and creativity. Coveted for millennia, the gems' blood red tones have evoked fire in all its manifestations. A semi-precious member of the silicate mineral family, Garnet is formed when a rock with high aluminium content is subjected to intense heat and pressure. Stones heroing deep crimson-red hues are known as Pyrope Garnet, originating in India. Whilst the softer rose-red and violet-red hues are from the Rhodelite Garnet, which originates in Africa. Garnet is the birthstone of January and ranks 6.5/7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale.

Our gold vermeil jewellery involves a premium technique of electro gold plating in Australia where each handcrafted .925 sterling silver piece is finished with a thick layer (2.5 microns for earrings, studs and necklaces and 4 microns for rings) of high quality and ethically sourced 18kt gold.
