Vintage Garnet Almandine Necklace

About the Item

The length of the necklace is 22 inches (56 cm). The size of the faceted beads is 10 mm. Beads are a hand-faceted, deep-saturated, uniform color. The color of the beads is authentic and natural. No thermal or other mechanical treatments were used. The necklace is fastened with a silver handmade clasp with faceted natural garnet. The beads knotting is traditionally done with silk thread, placing a knot between each bead to prevent them from rubbing against each other. The weight of the necklace is 81 grams. Almandine garnet, also known as almandite, belongs to the vast group of garnet gemstones. The word 'garnet' is derived from the Latin word "granatus," which means grain, because many garnet deposits appear as small grains of red crystals in their host rock. Almandine occurs in a range of reds, including brownish-red, orangey-red, and purplish-red. The reason for such color difference is that garnet is rarely ever pure, resulting in mixed garnets, typically traces of pyrope or spessartite. Almandine is a popular gemstone for gemstone jewelry due to its excellent hardness (7.5 on the Mohs scale) and brilliance resulting from its high refractive index. Its name, 'almandine,' originates from 'alabandicus,' the name of a stone found in the small town of Alabanda, located in Caria, the second smallest province of Asia Minor. The garnet animates fun in any company, at parties and celebrations. Garnet brings joy to any group, stimulates sexual initiative, and adds determination and courage to the owner. Daily visual contact with garnet favors the replacement of melancholic mood with a positive outlook. Fifteen minutes of admiring jewelry or interior decoration from a magic garnet and unexplainable sadness will gradually disappear. This stone will help, regardless of whether you believe it or not. This is the perfect gift for yourself or someone special!
