Garnet Stone Beads | Faceted Triangles | 4mm x 6mm

These garnet beads are a deep and juicy red, like a glass of a favorite wine glistening softly. The garnet stone owes its name to a Latin word, "granatum," which means pomegranate seed, likely because the rich red color of garnet resembles that of pomegranate. There is also a myth that Hades gave his love a pomegranate when she went on a trip, and when she returned home safely, the pomegranate seeds all turned to garnet stones. For this reason, the garnet gemstone is often gifted to loved ones when they travel, as a symbol of good luck and safety. Because these triangle-shaped garnet beads are such a luscious color, you could either wear them as is, or you could include them in necklaces, bracelets, or earrings that also feature elements of gold or other types of red and pink, like pink opal or gold coral.
