Women's Metallic Garnet Birthstone Mythology Pendant

Garnet comes from the Latin word ‘granatus’ meaning grain or seed, a reference to the seeds of the pomegranate. Garnets symbolise life force (seeds) and blood (colour) and are thus associated with love, prosperity, creativity and eternity. Wearing your garnet pendant, birthstone for those born in January, will help awaken your creative energies and strengthen your will and if given to someone you love, is said to always bring them back to you. The pendant has a circular cabochon garnet in a gold pomegranate mount. There are four cz’s around the edge of the pendant, which has a band of tiny 'seeds' held by a plain gold rim. A large tear drop of gold forms the hook for the chain. To clean, wash gently in warm soapy water, rinse and pat dry. Care should be taken not to drop or knock the piece of jewellery as a stone may be damaged or fall out. Eventually, all gold vermeil will wear off and the more often it is worn the more quickly this will happen. However as this is one full micron of 18k gold vermeil, and the only place the gold touches the skin is at the back of the pendant, this should last a long time. Colour: metallic
