Garnet Rings from The Diamond Store.co.uk

Garnet is a naturally occurring gemstone.

Its name comes from Latin granatus meaning seed, because it often resembles small round seeds when found in its matrix rock.

Garnet gem stones were worn in the 13th century in order to drive back insects and evil spirits. They were also worn to ward off the evil eye of other people. Although in Egyptian times garnet gems were taken into the tombs with the dead as compensation to the gods of the nether worlds and for their means of access through the nether world safely. But it is believed that King Solomon wore a large red garnet along with eleven other magical gems (representing the 12 steps of Jacob's Ladder) in his breast plate to help him be triumphant in battle.
