Gemological overview

Technical and gemological information about this gemstone variety.

Gemological profile

Garnet refers to a group of closely related silicate minerals rather than a single gemstone variety. This group includes several distinct species and varieties, each with its own characteristic color range, composition, and visual appearance. Garnets are valued for their diversity, durability, and long-standing use in jewelry across cultures and historical periods.
Chemically, garnets share a common crystal structure but differ in composition, most commonly involving combinations of aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, and manganese. All garnets crystallize in the cubic crystal system and belong to the silicate mineral group. In gem-quality material, garnets typically display a vitreous luster and transparent to slightly translucent clarity.
Refractive index values vary across garnet varieties, generally ranging from approximately 1.72 to 1.89, resulting in strong light return and rich color saturation. Garnets are found in many regions worldwide, with typical sources including Africa, Sri Lanka, India, Brazil, and Madagascar, depending on the specific variety.

Durability & suitability

With hardness values typically ranging from 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, garnets offer good durability suitable for a wide range of jewelry applications when properly set and worn with standard care. Their lack of cleavage contributes to reliable resistance against everyday wear.
Most garnet varieties perform well in rings, pendants, earrings, and bracelets, particularly when set in designs that provide reasonable protection. While durability can vary slightly between individual garnet species, the group as a whole is well suited for both everyday jewelry and more expressive, statement-oriented designs.

Treatments & authenticity

Garnets are most commonly found in nature without the need for enhancement. Unlike many other gemstone groups, treatments are generally uncommon across most garnet varieties, which contributes to their appeal among collectors and jewelry designers alike.
Any treatments or enhancements, if present, are always clearly stated for each individual gemstone. Every stone is professionally examined, and transparent disclosure is regarded as a fundamental part of responsible gemological practice, allowing clients to make informed and confident decisions.
