Garnet Jewellery – January's Birthstone

Garnet Jewellery

Garnet is one of the oldest known gemstones in the world and has been prized since the Bronze Age for its intense colour, exceptional brilliance, and timeless allure.  At Velur, you’ll find high-quality garnet jewellery in two exclusive finishes: gold vermeil (925 sterling silver with a 14K gold plating) and 14K solid gold. Each piece is crafted with the utmost precision by experienced goldsmiths and comes with a lifetime warranty—ensuring exceptional quality, lasting beauty, and fair luxury without middlemen.

Gold Vermeil or 14K Solid Gold—Which One Goes Best with Your Garnet?

Both versions contain real gold—the difference lies in their construction and character:

If you're looking for garnet jewellery with a high-quality gold finish, Gold Vermeil offers an elegant and durable alternative. Both styles are made from recycled gold and certified sources—modern luxury with a sense of responsibility.

Genuine Garnet – Quality That Lasts

Jewellery featuring genuine garnet, with no compromises—that’s what Velur stands for. Our commitment to quality is evident in every detail:

• Each garnet stone is examined under a microscope for colour, cut, and natural inclusions.
• Each frame is digitally optimized before it is manufactured.
• Every surface is inspected multiple times before a piece of jewellery leaves our workshop.
• Lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Garnet belongs to the garnet group—a fascinating family of gemstones with an extraordinary variety of colours that extends far beyond the classic red.

Among the most important varieties are:

• Pyrop – a deep dark red, historically prized especially in Bohemia
• Rhodolite – raspberry red to violet, particularly elegant in yellow gold
• Spessartine & Mandarin Garnet – vibrant orange, rare and highly sought-after
• Mozambique Garnet – a deep red with exceptional brilliance
• Grossular & Tsavorite – ranging from light green to emerald green, among the rarest gemstones in the world, with a colour palette similar to that of our emerald jewellery
• Demantoid—the most precious member of the garnet group, with an impressive, diamond-like luster

What sets a real pomegranate apart:

• Colour—ranging from deep red to bright orange to rare green
• Hardness – 6.5–7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it ideal for jewellery
• Brilliance – high refractive index for a vibrant play of light
• Inclusions—natural features that highlight the stone's authenticity and uniqueness

Modern & Classic Garnet Jewellery

Modern Designs

Clean lines, contemporary shapes, and a minimalist aesthetic allow the garnet to take centre stage. Rhodolite and mandarin garnet, in particular, reveal their impressive luminosity in modern settings, perfectly showcasing the gemstone’s natural colour intensity.

Classically Inspired Designs

Elaborate settings, floral elements, and warm yellow gold give classic garnet jewellery its timeless character. These designs draw on the long tradition of garnet as a prized gemstone and evoke the famous Bohemian art of jewellery making.
