This is a fantastic garnet bracelet set in silver.
Garnets are similar to rubies, but a lot cheaper! They tend to be a more intense red and have fewer inclusions.
It is thought the word garnet comes from the 14th-century Middle English word gernet, meaning 'dark red' - and some people also believe "garnet" is a derivation of the word pomum granatum (pomegranate) as the seeds of a pomegranate are similar in size and colour to many garnet crystals.
