Believed to bring happiness, health and wealth, garnet is a popular precious stone as it suits various skin tones and can easily be used for a variety of designs. Here are the garnet jewellery pieces that have caught our attention.
When it comes to coloured gemstones, garnet sparkles with possibilities. Sure, the gem may have derived its name from the Latin word for pomegranate, due to its resemblance to the fruit’s seeds, but garnet’s palette goes beyond the richness of red. In an array of colours like deep violet, as is the case of the rhodololite, or a fiery orange, as seen in the spessartite, the rarest and most expensive garnet, is the demantoid, which boasts a green hue vibrant enough to rival the emerald. And we’re just barely scratching the surface of this precious gem.
You may have even spotted a couple of garnets in Bridgerton, the period drama that has taken over Netflix. The gem was particularly popular in the Regency era, when the show is set. It was affordable, believe it or not, and complements every skin tone — a variety of which we see in the diverse cast of the Netflix series.
Whether you’re a Bridgerton fan looking for accessories to complete your Regencycore look, or you’re on the hunt for a dazzling gift for your friends born in January (that’s when the garnet is the official birthstone), we’ve listed all the stunning jewellery pieces that bring out the beauty of the underrated gemstone.

Tiffany & Co. 'Soleste' ring in diamond, spessartine garnet and platinum
Tiffany & Co. made a good call in using the spessartine garnet in its Soleste ring. The ring, after all, is inspired by the sun, which the oval-cut, orange gem brilliantly mimics. It even has rays in the form of round diamonds that bring out its radiance.
What’s more impressive is that this gem weighs 7.35 carats, given that spessartines are extremely rare to find in the mines of Africa today. Even harder it is to find it in Spessart, the German mountains where the gem was first discovered.
